St Kilda midfielder Seb Ross has signed a three-year contract extension.
Ross, who was already contracted for 2018, will now be a Saint until the end of the 2021 season.
The re-signing comes just weeks after Ross won his maiden club best and fairest.
โThe Saints are where I always wanted to be, so the decision was pretty easy,โ Ross said.
โThe Saints took a chance on me as a young 18-year-old. There were a few guys picked from our draft so Iโve grown up with those guys for the past six years.
โItโs a really exciting time, weโve got a few young stars coming through and I think weโre on the way up."
Ross said the club's decision to recently re-sign coach Alan Richardson helped his decision to re-commit.
โThat probably weighed in my decision. He (Richardson) is someone who has installed a lot of belief in me to help me become the player I want to be.
โI love playing under him.โ
Ross played every game this season, averaging a career high 29.8 disposals, five clearances and 4.3 tackles.
