Hawthorn midfielder Jaeger O'Meara has penned a four-year extension with the Hawks, which will see him remain at the club until at least the end of the 2023 season.

O'Meara has impressed so far during his 30 games for the club, and has started the 2019 season off with a bang, recording 28.7 disposals in his first three games.

The 25-year-old missed the Hawks' clash with St Kilda on Sunday through injury.

โ€œWeโ€™re thrilled to have Jaeger recommit for another four seasons," Hawthorn's GM of Football Graham Wright told hawthornfc.com.au.

โ€œIt was a relatively easy decision from both parties. Both Jaeger and his management TLA made it a really smooth process, and itโ€™s pleasing to have it sorted so early in the season.

โ€œHeโ€™s become such an important player for us, not only through his on-field performance but also from a leadership sense as well.

โ€œHe sets a great example for his teammates with his professionalism and work ethic.

โ€œWeโ€™re excited to watch his continued development over the coming years.โ€
