Hawthorn has confirmed defender Grant Birchall hasย re-signed with the club until the end of the 2019 season.

The four-time premiership player has played 240 games for the Hawks and has been a vital and reliable member of the Hawks' back six for the past decade.

โ€œGrant is a really important player for us and a vital member of our backline,โ€ Recruiting and List Manager Graham Wright said of the 28-year-old.

โ€œHe has been a part of this club for over ten years now and we were really keen to retain him.

โ€œWe are really pleased that Grant has signed on for another two seasons and believe he has plenty of good footy ahead of him.โ€
