PORT ADELAIDE captain Tom Jonas has agreed to terms on a contract extension which will see him remain at the club until the end of the 2023 season.
Jonas was contracted until the end of 2022, but has elected to commit himself to the club for an extra year.
Captain since 2019, Jonas has gone from being on the rookie list ten years ago to becoming one of the most reliable and consistent performers in the AFL competition.
“I’m ecstatic to extend my stay at Port Adelaide,” Jonas said.
“The club is in a great spot and I’m thrilled that I get to be a part of it until the end of 2023.
“I’m obviously pleased the club saw fit to come to me with an extension and I will continue to do all that I can both on and off the field in order for us to achieve our goals.”
Jonas has played 159 AFL games since his debut in 2011 and after being runner up to Justin Westhoff for the 2018 John Cahill Medal, finished third in 2020.
Awarded life membership of the club in 2020, the 30-year-old has also been an All-Australian nominee on three occasions including last season.
“Tom is a fearless player, a fantastic leader of our playing group and an outstanding ambassador for our club,” said General Manager – Football, Chris Davies.
“His style sets the tone for his teammates and he continues to show that he is willing to do whatever is necessary for our club to be successful.
"We are pleased that Tom has agreed to extend his time at the club until the end of 2023.”
