Brisbane coach Justin Leppitsch has signed a one-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2017 season.

Lions' Chairman Bob Sharpless made the announcement at the clubโ€™s season launch in Brisbane on Monday night.

โ€œOur football club is on a journey and the hardest part of our journey is now done in many respects,โ€ Leppitsch said.

โ€œWe have made a lot of changes over the past two years but they have been changes for the better and we will see positive results in the years ahead.

โ€œThe recommitment of so many of our current players, as well as the influx of quality players and staff show that we are on the right track.

โ€œWe still have a lot of work to do but our foundation is strong and our future is bright.โ€

Leppisch has won 11 of 44 matches in charge of the Lions since taking over at the beginning of the 2014 season.
