Jarman Impey has signed a long-term deal at Hawthorn.

Impey was already contracted for 2020 but Hawthorn wanted to lock down the defender's long-term future.

His second year with the Hawks saw career-high numbers of disposals, marks and rebound 50s.

โ€œWeโ€™re really pleased to have Jarman re-commit for the long-term,โ€ GM-Football Graham Wright told the club's website.

โ€œHeโ€™s such a valuable player for us. In 2019, he really developed his game on field but also developed his leadership off it.

โ€œHeโ€™s held in high regard by his teammates and is such a respected clubman.

โ€œWhile Jarmanโ€™s season was interrupted by injury, he has been attacking his rehab over the past few months and is progressing well.

โ€œWeโ€™re all looking forward to seeing him back out on the park in the latter half of next year.โ€

Impey was initially Port Adelaide's pick No.21 in the 2013 AFL Draft and spent five years there before being traded to Hawthorn in 2017.
