Jack Riewoldt is an Australian rules footballer, taken with the 13th pick in the 2006 AFL Draft by Richmond and is highly rated as a key forward prospect. Prior to Richmond, the Tasmanian played for the Tassie Mariners in the TAC Cup and his local team was Clarence in Tasmania's SFL. He wore the number 7 and was a part of Clarence's premiership win in 2006. In the 2nd Semi Final of that year, against arch-rivals Glenorchy at KGV Oval, Riewoldt kicked an incredible 80 metre torpedo punt through for a goal on the three quarter time siren.

He has two younger brothers, Charlie and Harry Riewoldt. He is also a cousin of St Kilda star Nick Riewoldt. Before his AFL career Jack worked at retailer Sportsco.
