Port Adelaide has secured Dante Visentini for two more years, keeping the young ruck at Alberton until at least the end of 2027.

The 22-year-old joined Port Adelaide through the 2021 National Draft and has featured six times at AFL level since his debut in 2023.

Honing his craft alongside more experienced rucks Ivan Soldo and Jordon Sweet at the Power, Visentini has continued to impress with his tap work and aggression in the contest.

Standing at 202 centimetres, he is athletic, strong, and can impact in the forward line, with the Sandringham Dragons product kicking his first AFL goal in Round 24 last year.

“I’m very happy to have signed on for two more years at Port Adelaide,” Visentini said.

“I love the club and I feel like this playing group is pretty special. I’ve developed so much in my time here, and I am keen to keep learning and growing in this environment.

“The coaches, players and staff have all been great over the last three years, and I look forward to making the most of this opportunity.”

Highly intelligent and softly spoken, Visentini’s off-field personality is a far cry from what he shows on-field with the way he attacks the contest.

His performance in Round 9 against Geelong last year was among his best, collecting 31 hit-outs, 10 disposals and four tackles.

“Dante is a promising young player with significant upside and is naturally very competitive,” Port Adelaide list manager Jason Cripps said.

“He is able to impact both in the air and at ground level, and his ruck work only continues to get better. Dante is extremely driven, has a strong work ethic and is well-liked and respected by the coaches and playing group.

“We are really pleased to see him sign on for two more years.”
