Western Bulldogs ruckman Tim English has signed a contract extension that will see him remain at the club for a further four years.
The 19-year-old's contract is now extended until the end of the 2020 season, after signing a two-year extension on his current two-year draftee contract.
โTim was a highly-touted junior ruckman and weโve been extremely impressed with his first six months at the Club," Bulldogs List Manager Jason McCartney said.
โNot only has Tim settled in well and applied himself to his training, but heโs showed strong signs throughout the pre-season and demonstrates terrific attributes for a modern-day ruckman.โ
The West Australian was taken at pick 19 in the 2016 AFL National Draft, and was the first ruckman selected on draft day.
โItโs a huge thing the Clubโs shown faith in me to firstly pick me in the draft, then to extend the contract," English said.
โThe Clubโs been really welcoming and Iโm looking to develop those relationships further.
โIt does give you a little bit of confidence they see that your development is tracking pretty wellโฆ Iโm just really looking forward (to the next few years).โ
