Melbourne forward Mitch Hannan will remain at the club after signing a two-year contract extension on Tuesday. 

The 24-year-old played 20 games for the Demons in 2017 after being taken with pick no. 46 in the 2016 draft. 

โ€œMitch was able to have immediate impact on our team last year, coming in as a mature-age player,โ€ Josh Mahoney, General manager of football operations told melbournefc.com.au.

โ€œMitchโ€™s combination of speed and endurance allows him the flexibility to play as a forward and through the midfield.

โ€œWe look forward to Mitch developing his game further and building on his first season.โ€

Hannan kicked 22 goals last year after playing against Melbourne's VFL affiliate, Casey in the 2016 VFL grand final.
