Gold Coast pair Michael Rischitelli and Jesse Lonergan have both signed new contracts with the club.

Rischitelli, who has filled the role of on-field captain for the most of the season in the absence of Gary Ablett, said he is happy with the direction the club is going in.

"Iโ€™m really pleased to extend my contract, especially as the future direction of the club has never been clearer," the 29-year-old said.

"(It) has been a tough year, but I really believe we have learnt more as a group in 2015 as we ever have before.

"Itโ€™s about living and breathing the brand, our values and standards, if we can do that anything is possible. The players are up for it and I know our supporters are as well."

Lonergan has re-signed for two years, after a breakout year for the 20-year-old.

โ€œIโ€™m rapt to have re-signed - the club has been really good to me and I plan to repay them in the future," Lonergan said.

"I definitely feel as though 2016 will be a defining year for our club. We really want to build something pretty special and after a challenging year we are all pretty excited about the direction we are heading."
