MARQUEE Richmond recruit Dion Prestia has turned in an impressive display on the track as the Tigers resumed training on Tuesday.

The former Gold Coast midfielder performed strongly during a six-minute running drill.

Prestia underwent knee surgery in July last year before joining the Tigers during the 2016 NAB AFL Trade Period.

Defender Steven Morris is also progressing nicely in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament sustained in June last year.

Richmond's physical performance manager Peter Burge said both players were making steady progress from their respective injuries.

"Dion started some light skill work today with the group," Burge told Richmond's website.

"He's been going for a couple weeks now.

"Morro, with his long-term ACL, he's ahead of schedule.

"If anything, we need to keep the reins on him.

"He's doing a lot of running and conditioning.

"He's not going to progress into skills probably for a couple weeks or so yet, but both those guys were pretty impressive."

Tigers key forward Jack Riewoldt rejoined the main group before the Christmas break after having finger and ankle surgery in the off-season.

"Jack has been in full training for three or four weeks," Burge said.

Oleg Markov, Connor Menadue, Nathan Drummond and Dan Butler were among the young players to stand out during the 3km time trial at Princes Park.

"The pleasing thing is a lot of the young guys in particular are doing a lot of work in the gym at the moment, trying to get their bodies stronger and are actually running better as a result of it," Burge said.

"So, overall we're really pleased with how they've come back and looking forward to the weeks ahead as our football program starts to really increase."

The Tigers will have a training camp on the Sunshine Coast at the end of January before turning their focus to the JLT Community Series.
