The Western Bulldogs have announced the re-signing of star midfielder Tom Liberatore to a new two-year deal.

Liberatore joins fellow onballer Marcus Bontempelli in signing contract extensions with the Bulldogs this season in what has been a couple of major coups for the Bulldogs.

A key member of the club's 2016 premiership side, Liberatore has been a bright spark for the Bulldogs since joining the club as a father-son draft selection.

“It’s very exciting to stay on for another couple. I’m certainly looking forward to the next couple of years, and obviously this year as well,” Liberatore told the club website.

“It’s been good to be consistent and keep myself healthy. That allows me to get out on the park and play some good footy each week.

“It’s been extremely pleasing to be part of a group that’s got a lot of chemistry.

“I think we’re in a good place to keep playing good footy and keep challenging the best teams. It’s exciting times ahead.”
