Michael,
I’m delighted to let you know that I’ve officially signed a four-year contract extension with the Western Bulldogs, keeping me at the Club until 2029, and hopefully beyond.
This decision means the world to me – not just as a footballer, but as someone who’s been shaped by this Club, its people and the community. From the moment I walked through the doors as a teenager back in 2013, I’ve been fully embraced by the red, white and blue and had the honour of representing something bigger than all of us.
Twelve years later, that feeling has only grown stronger.
As a Club, we carry with us the rich history of Footscray, built on grit, honesty, resilience and heart. Those values have been passed down through generations of players and fans, and they’re what make this Club truly special. I am fiercely proud to be part of that legacy, and to lead our AFL team as its captain is a privilege I never take for granted.
Seeing this Club grow over the past decade has been truly special as we’ve continued to evolve on the field, off the field and of course in the stands. The love for this Club has spread far beyond the western suburbs, with well over 60,000 members and counting, a number that would have been almost unimaginable when I joined this Club and that’s only getting bigger.
This wasn’t a difficult decision – I feel entirely settled and confident about the future of a Club that I love, with a group of players that give their all every week and have so much talent and potential. It took a bit longer than expected, but the result was never in doubt!
As a member, your belief, passion and loyalty is unwavering and I thank you for being with us through the highs and the heartbreaks. Your support drives us and keeps us striving for something greater.
I’m as motivated and excited as ever to lead this Club into the next chapter and there is still so much to play for this season. With five games remaining and a finals spot up for grabs we’ll do everything possible to get the best out of ourselves and deliver more famous days for the Bulldogs faithful.
Thank you for believing in me and in us. I can’t wait to see what the next four years bring.
