Gold Coast forward Bailey Humphrey has signed a two-year extension, adding a pair of seasons to his current deal, which was set to expire at the end of 2028.
Humphrey will remain at the Suns until 2030, despite heavy interest from rival clubs.
Carlton, Melbourne, Hawthorn and Collingwood had previously been linked to the 2022 first-round pick.
"It's helped me heaps in terms of clearing my head," Humphrey said.
"I think the last five weeks of footy I've put it all aside, and then I've come to my decision before the end of the season so that I can go into the off-season with a clear head and just focus on footy and the footy club.
"It took a fair bit, to be honest. A lot of conversations with my family and my friends. I've also got some really close mates here and didn't want to leave them behind.
"I'm probably not the easiest bloke to deal with, so I just want to give back to (the club) when I can, and I want to see success. We've obviously been through the lows, but I want to be here for the highs as well, and hopefully in the future we can see the success the club deserves."
The Suns were glad he re-signed.
“Bailey is a highly valued and much-loved member of our football club, so we're incredibly pleased that he has committed his future to the Gold Coast for another two years,” List & Recruiting Manager Kall Burns said.
“He's only 21, but with four seasons of AFL football already behind him, Bailey has established himself as an important part of our group and what we're building together.
“There's a strong sense of belief and unity within this playing group, and Bailey's commitment is another reflection of that. We place high expectations on ourselves; we know what we're capable of, and we're determined to continue building something special here on the Gold Coast."
Humphrey has played 82 games since he debuted in 2023.
Humphrey is the latest Suns player to have secured their future on the Gold Coast, following the likes of Jed Walter, Leo Lombard and Bodhi Uwland to have penned multi-year extensions.
