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.

โ€œItโ€™s very exciting to stay on for another couple. Iโ€™m certainly looking forward to the next couple of years, and obviously this year as well,โ€ Liberatore told the club website.

โ€œItโ€™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.

โ€œItโ€™s been extremely pleasing to be part of a group thatโ€™s got a lot of chemistry.

โ€œI think weโ€™re in a good place to keep playing good footy and keep challenging the best teams. Itโ€™s exciting times ahead.โ€
