Port Adelaide List Manager Jason Cripps said Powell-Pepper's hard work and development made him a valuable asset at the club.
โSam, to his credit has worked hard on himself and was rewarded last season, being one of our more consistent players and finishing fifth in the best and fairest,โ Cripps said.
โWe love his willingness to hunt the ball and keep it in our forward line, and he is also contributing more on the scoreboard. He plays the Port Adelaide way โ tough and hard at the footy โ and is a real barometer for our side because of his energy.
โHe's a great teammate and really popular around the club, and we're excited to have him at Alberton for another two years.โ
Powell-Pepper's new deal commits him to the club until the conclusion of the 2025 season.
