Fresh off making the 44-man All-Australian squad, GWS small forward Brent Daniels has signed a six-year extension, locking in his services at the club until the end of 2031.
Daniels has been a significant piece in the Giants' resurgence after a lull during the middle part of the year, leading the charge in the famous 'Orange Tsunami'.
Taken with Pick 27 in the 2017 National Draft, the player they call 'Binga' has established himself as one of the competition's best small forwards, highlighting his incredible ability to run in between the arcs but also finish in front of goal.
Daniels sits elite amongst the competition for small forwards in disposals (18.1 per game), tackles (4.3), clearances (2.5), inside 50s (4.1) and score involvements (6.2).

The 25-year-old has recorded the most goal assists in the season to date with 33, nipping Hawthorn's Dylan Moore and Sydney's Errol Gulden.
Giants EGM Jason McCartney was thrilled that the club was able to lock away Daniels for the long term.
โWe're thrilled to secure Brent for the next six years as we prepare for another finals campaign,โ McCartney said.
โFor Brent to sign a long-term deal with the club as he approached free agency is a huge endorsement of the future he sees here and our football program as a whole.
โSince joining the club back in 2017, he's developed into a pivotal player for us, and it's great to have him remain a GIANT for what we see as a really exciting future for the club.
โWhile he's always been highly regarded internally, it's fantastic to see him starting to get the external recognition he deserves for the talented and hard-working player he is and for what he brings to our side.
โWe're excited to continue to watch him develop on and off the field and contribute to our future success. It's a fantastic way to enter another finals campaign.โ
GWS are in preparation mode for their qualifying final clash against cross-town rivals Sydney at the SCG.
