EXCLUSIVE: ST KILDA star Nick Riewoldt has agreed to play on until at least the end of 2014 to help foster the next generation of Saints.

Riewoldt, who has just turned 30, recently reached an agreement with the club to add an extra year to his current contract, but hopes to play on for even longer.

In good news for the Saints, who are currently on a high-altitude training camp in Colorado, the skipper said he and several experienced teammates wanted to play a part in the club's transition.

"I am really pleased to get it all done and locked away," Riewoldt said. "I was always signed up for 2013, but it's great to get the extra year.

Surprising.
I wonder what the medical prognosis on that knee is.
I assume the knee is looking good.

Riewoldt said he was motivated by many things this year, not the least of which was some critics who wondered if he was past his best.

"It was good in a lot of respects to come out and put the innuendo that I was 'done' to bed," he said. "As a proud athlete, that is something that can grind on you a bit."

Riewoldt kicked 47 goals for the Saints from his 19 games this year, with his season ending prematurely in Round 20 after a knee injury against Melbourne.

A post-season clean-up means he is still in the rehabilitation group, but he believes he will be right to go early in the new year.

"I have just turned 30 and it is all about managing myself as best as I can while maintaining a high level of performance," he said.

Nick Riewoldt on one leg is still better than most. While he is still playing with us, I feel we are always in with a chance. Hope he keeps going for a few more years. He is an absolute gun.

Agree. A chance of what do you mean? Not the flag I assume unless you're delusional!

I hope his pay is cut a little to free up some more cap space. Not too much though, he's still worth a lot of $$$.
