The Gold Coast Suns have re-signed Tom Nicholls and Jack Leslie for a further season.

Nicholls has played 45 games since joining the club as a 17-year-old access selection in 2010, while Leslie has played six games, after being recruited with pick No.20 in the 2013 National Draft.

โ€œI believe we have the best group of boys, and the best city to play footy in, so I couldn't see myself going anywhere else in 2017,โ€ Nicholls said.

โ€œWe've had a challenging year but have built even more resilience, chemistry and respect amongst the players and coaches. The boys are really keen to show the city what we're capable of.

โ€œThe coaches and the leadership group have been awesome in terms of culture and giving the guys a license to lead.โ€

Leslie also said he is delighted to have re-signed with the Suns.

โ€œI couldnโ€™t be happier to be continuing my AFL career in Queensland and I canโ€™t wait to get back into it," Leslie.

โ€œThe off-season provides everyone the opportunity to refresh and recharge, but our sights are firmly fixed on continuing to build confidence and momentum when we return for pre-season training."
