Adelaide midfielder Hugh Greenwood will see his AFL career continue for at least another two seasons, after signing a contract extension with the Crows.
The 25-year-old made his debut for the club in round nine against Brisbane, after joining Adelaide last season.
After playing in nine of the Crows' past ten games, the midfielder has cemented his spot in Adelaide's side, and said he was excited to keep that momentum going for the years to come.
“I’m really excited to see what’s going to happen over the next couple of years, and I’m very thankful as well. The footy club has given me another opportunity,” Greenwood told afc.com.au.
“It’s a very positive environment and I think we’re built for success.
“I feel very much at home here. I’ve really embraced the city and the Club.”
Greenwood was originally a talented basketball player, and spent four seasons with the University of New Mexico in the United States playing college basketball.
After returning home in 2015, Greenwood signed with the Perth Wildcats in the NBL, but only lasted three months before heading to South Australia and signing a rookie contract with Adelaide.
“Hugh’s background from an alternate sport is well documented but his commitment and approach to training since he’s been at Adelaide has been outstanding,” Adelaide General Manager of List Management and Strategy Justin Reid told the club's website.
“He has become an important part of the Club’s midfield group and his development as a player is a credit to him and the coaching group.”
