GWS Giants key forward Jon Patton has re-committed to the club, signing a contract extension through to the end of 2020.
The 23-year-old is coming off a career-best season in 2016, in which he played 23 games and booted 38 goals. He has played 55 games since he was drafted with the No.1 selection in the 2011 AFL draft.
Patton, who had to endure two knee reconstructions early in his career, said he is keen to repay the faith shown in him by the club.
โThe club stuck by me when I was struggling with injuries and now Iโm really happy to put pen to paper on a long-term deal to stay at the club,โ Patton said.ย
โOur playing group is building something special and I believe weโre heading in the right direction.
โI love living in Sydney, this is my home, and I love representing the GIANTS.โ
