Western Bulldogs defender Fletcher Roberts (http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/player-profile/fletcher-roberts) has agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension, keeping him at the Club until at least the end of the 2019 season.
Roberts is the latest in a line of Bulldogs who have re-committed to the Club in recent months, with the 24-year-old joining Kieran Collins, Lewis Young, Patrick Lipinski, Clay Smith, Marcus Adams, Tim English and Bailey Williams to have re-signed.
“We’ve been really encouraged by Fletcher’s development as a tall defender since he came to us in 2012, particularly the last 12 months”
List Manager Jason McCartney told westernbulldogs.com.au (http://westernbulldogs.com.au/) on Tuesday.
“Fletcher reads the play well and regularly leads the side in one percenters, which is a tribute to how hard he works for his teammates.
“We look forward to watching him grow as a footballer over the next couple of years.”
The 196cm, 90 kg Roberts was taken with the 11th pick of the 2011 Pre-season Draft and has played 46 games for the Club.
