Gold Coast has announced the signatures of five players, ahead of Thursday's opening list lodgement date.
Jacob Heron, Jacob Dawson, Nick Holman, Sam Fletcher and Mitch Riordan have all put pen to paper on new deals, with all five to play on in 2020.
โEach of the boys have worked hard to earn their spots on the clubโs list, itโs a testament to their effort and work ethic,โ Gold Coast's General Manager Football Operations Jon Haines told the club's website.
โThis brings the total number of players who have recommitted to the Suns this year to 20 which is reflective of the playing groupโs growing belief in each other and the clubโ.
Holman is the most experienced of the quintet, having played 34 of a possible 44 games since joining the club two years ago.
โI am really excited, my first two years have been finding my way back in the AFL system, and now I can start building and helping the team succeed the way we want too, for at least the next two years,โ Holman said.
โLast year I didnโt get much of a pre-season at all, I think now Iโve had the surgery and my back is feeling good Iโll get a full pre-season under my belt and be ready to go for next year.โ
โWe can keep building on what was a competitive first half of this year, weโve got a lot of 2,3,4-year players that are ready to take the next step.โ
