Geelong veterans Gary Ablett and Harry Taylor have signed one-year deals with the Cats to play on in 2020.

Ablett will enter his 19th season with the Cats next year, while Taylor will embark on his 13th campaign with the club.

“Harry and Gary were both excellent players for us this year, and more importantly we see both as being able to contribute to us winning games in 2020,” Geelong's General Manager of Football Simon Lloyd told the club website.

“Their on-field efforts were there for all to see, and they also took significant time to invest in our large base of emerging talent, speeding the development of this exciting group of players.

“We are looking forward to both being part of our team in 2020.”
