Brisbane has announced the re-signings of Ryan Lester and Mitch Hinge, with the pair committing to remain at the Lions in 2020.
Hinge has been elevated to the senior list from the rookie list, after finally making his debut in 2019, playing two senior games.
Lester featured nine times in 2019, and has signed on for his 10th year at the club.
โRyan is a person that is well respected by everyone at our football Club due to his manner and drive to improve himself as a player,โ Brisbane's General Manager of Football David Noble told the club's website.
โBeing a part of our leadership group, he provides great input into the direction and decision making of the Club from a leaderโs perspective.
โMitch showed terrific improvement in his game this year, making his debut into a pretty settled team.
โHe showed he has the skills to play at the level and now the challenge in front of him is to secure a regular position in the team, with his run, competitiveness and ability to play in several positions.โ
The two re-signings mean the Lions now have just five players currently without a contract for 2020.
