RICHMOND is showing interest in Greater Western Sydney's Taylor Adams as a boost to its 2014 playing list.

AFL.com.au believes the Tigers are among a number of Victorian clubs closely watching the progress of Adams, who has been one of the Giants' most consistent onballers this season.

Adams was drafted with pick 13 at the 2011 NAB AFL Draft from the Geelong Falcons, but the Giants have been unable to secure him to a new deal in his time in Sydney.  

Greater Western Sydney list manager Stephen Silvagni said the club was in constant discussion regarding Adams' future.

"Both parties are very relaxed with where it [his contract] sits at the minute," he told AFL.com.au.

"There's no issues as far as we're concerned. We've both been transparent with the whole thing."

Last month Adams indicated he was in no hurry to make up his mind on where he would play in 2014.

"I think I'm over the homesickness at the moment and I'm really enjoying it up here in Sydney and made some really good friendships," the 20-year-old said.

"I just have to sit down and think about what's right for me [and] I'll probably wait until the end of the season.

"There's no rush, I'll just take my time and make the right decision."

While the Tigers continue to negotiate new contracts for star pair Jack Riewoldt and Dustin Martin, Adams fits the mould of the type of player the club has recruited in the last three seasons.

He is a hard midfielder with a burst of speed, with similar traits to Richmond's last three first-round draft picks in Nick Vlastuin, Brandon Ellis and Reece Conca, another Tiger whose contract expires at the end of this year.

During last year's trade period the Tigers tried to lure GWS midfielder Dom Tyson to the club, despite Tyson being only one season into his AFL career. 

Adams has played 11 games in his second season and averaged 20 disposals a game, after 15 games in his debut year of 2012.

Giants coach Kevin Sheedy has previously supported Adams taking time to make a call on his future.

"You only get these chances (rarely) in your life and hopefully we make him an offer that he wants to stay," Sheedy said in June.  

"We have to appreciate the individuality of a young man looking at his career and his life and that's the way I see it.

"I've had some great players come in and I've had some great players leave.

"You win them and you lose them."
