Troy Taylor today appeared in the Alice Springs Magistrates’ Court on assault charges relating to an incident that occurred in December last year.

Troy pleaded guilty and was convicted of assault.  He was given a three-month suspended sentence.

“Troy is extremely remorseful and understands fully that he has done the wrong thing,” Richmond General Manager of Football Craig Cameron said after the court hearing.

“The Club will continue to support Troy and assist him in making better decisions in the future.

“Troy has a wonderful opportunity being a part of the AFL system and we will be working with him to make the most of that opportunity.”
