Premiership defender Tom Cole will extend his career into a 12th season.

Made to wait until the end of the year for a contract renewal, Cole moved into the forward line at times this year, kicking nine goals.

“Tom has been a terrific servant of the football club and has thoroughly earned this new deal through his performances, consistency and leadership,” list manager Matt Clarke said.

“His effort and contribution throughout the season have been invaluable, and we're delighted to see him rewarded with another contract.”

Noah Long and Jacob Newton have also signed one-year extensions

“Noah has endured a frustrating run with injury, but our belief in his talent and potential has never wavered,” Clarke said.

“This extension reflects our commitment to supporting his return to play and our confidence that he still has an important role to play in the future of the club.

“Jacob has faced significant injury challenges, but he has continued to attack his rehabilitation with professionalism and determination.

“We remain fully committed to his development and look forward to seeing him back on the field and contributing at AFL level."

It comes after Harry Barnett and Harvey Johnston were delisted earlier in the week.
