Fremantle have announced new contract extensions for young pair Isaiah Dudley and Aiden Riddle until the end of next year.
Both players have inked one-year deals after joining the Dockers over the off-season, with Dudley signing Fremantle in February as a Supplemental Selection Period recruit.
The Central District forward has already notched up nine games under coach Justin Longmuir, booting eight goals from an average of 7.89 disposals per outing.
The exciting young goalsneak has been quick to impress those at Cockburn in his short time in purple.
“He's worked really hard after coming over from South Australia to train for an SSP spot,” Dockers personnel boss David Walls said of Dudley.
“He got to work, impressed and in nine games has shown he can have an impact at AFL level.
“We look forward to what he can do with more work - there's real room for growth and improvement.”
Riddle was drafted to Fremantle at the end of last year as a local product out of Claremont in the WAFL.
The 199cm ruck-forward has played seven WAFL matches and one reserve game for Peel Thunder in 2025, averaging 5.9 disposals and 7.4 hitouts per game.
“He had a really good pre-season and is settling into life as a tall, young player,” Walls said.
“It's not easy to come straight out of the Claremont Colts and WA under-18s onto an AFL list, but he's showing really encouraging signs at Peel.
“When you draft a 200cm teenager, he really needs to have the right attitude - and Aiden is showing he's eager to learn and develop.”
The pair of re-signings leave the likes of James Aish, Jack Delean, Neil Erasmus, Nat Fyfe, Odin Jones, Oscar McDonald, Quinton Narkle, Nathan O'Driscoll, Liam Reidy, Jeremy Sharp, Patrick Voss, Michael Walters and Karl Worner in being unsigned at the Dockers for beyond this year.
