Fremantle ruckman Zac Clarke has signed a one-year contract extension with the Dockers, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2017 season.

The 26-year-old was out of contract and a free agent at the end of the 2016 season, with reports linking him with a move away from the club, however, he ultimately opted to re-commit for another season, as the Dockers look to rebuild after a horror season.

โ€œBeing overseas pushed it (contract talks) back a bit longer, but Iโ€™ve been here for a while now so itโ€™s really good to add another year,โ€ Clarke said.

โ€œIโ€™ll be back at the club in a fortnight and training in some aspects but I won't be training just yet.

โ€œI had knee surgery straight after Peelโ€™s Grand Final, so Iโ€™ll just work my way through rehab, but I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ll be that far behind the rest of the group.

โ€œI should be ready and raring to go by round one, Iโ€™m hoping to join the main group just before Christmas so that should be giving me plenty of time.โ€

He has played a total of 101 games for Fremantle, including 11 in 2016.
