Lions star Dayne Beams has ended speculation surrounding his future after revealing that he will be staying at Brisbane.
The 28-year old was linked to a return to Victoria, possibly his former club Collingwood, despite being contracted at the Lions until the end of 2019.
โAfter having our exit meetings earlier this week, I thought it was a good time to let everybody know I wonโt be going anywhere," Beams told the club website.
"I love the coach, the playing group, and am excited about where this footy club is headed.
โI have never asked for a trade away from the Lions and would like to put an end to any speculation over my playing future. I will be seeing out my contract here.โ
The gun midfielder is coming off a stellar season for Brisbane, averaging 29.1 disposals and earning a nomination into the 40-man All-Australian squad.
