Geelong have re-signed midfielder Tanner Bruhn for a further two seasons, with the local product now locked in at Kardinia Park until the end of 2027.

Already signed with the Cats for next year after crossing from GWS on a three-year contract, Bruhn and Geelong have extended their partnership for another two seasons following a promising start to the current campaign from the 22-year-old.

โ€œWe are thrilled for Tanner to extend for a further two seasons with us and have him committed to the Club until at least the end of 2027,โ€ Geelong football boss Andrew Mackie said in a club statement.

โ€œTanner has a bright future, and we are excited to see him grow alongside our group of emerging young players.โ€

Bruhn joined the Cats at the end of 2022 after two years with GWS, who drafted the Newtown and Chilwell product with Pick 12 at the 2020 National Draft.

Bruhn played 30 games for the New South Wales club before seeking a move back to Geelong, with the Cats handing over a first-round draft selection (eventually Pick 21) for his services.
