Carlton veteran Kade Simpson will take to the field for his 18th season in 2020, after penning a one-year extension.

Simpson has played 325 games for the Blues, and currently sits fourth all-time on the club's games played list, and will only need to play four games next season to move past John Nicholls into third.

โ€œI love playing for the Carlton Football Club, this place has been a big part of my life for nearly 18 years now and I really feel I still have a lot to offer this group which is why Iโ€™ve signed on,โ€ Simpson told the club's website.

โ€œThe Club is going in the right direction and you just donโ€™t know how quickly things can turn, we have talent that is quickly developing. I want team success and I want to achieve it with this group.โ€

With Simpson re-signing, the Blues now have just seven players off contract at season's end. To see their full contract list, click here.
