Melbourne defender Jake Lever has inked a new three-year deal with the Demons, keeping him in the red and blue until the end of the 2024 season.
The 24-year-old crossed to Melbourne from Adelaide ahead of the 2018 season and has played 36 of his 92 career games with the Demons in a formidable role in the club's defensive structure.
Demons list manager Tim Lamb stated his excitement to see Lever enter his prime alongside partner-in-crime Steven May.
โJake Lever and Steven May are forming a great partnership down back, so to keep those two together is an exciting prospect for the club,โ Lamb told Melbourne Media.
