Midfield star Ed Allan has put pen to paper and will remain a Pie.
The Western Australian product has signed on for a further four seasons, which will see him play in the black and white stripes until at least the end of 2030.
The new deal caps off a breakout campaign for Allan, who has developed from a promising prospect to an increasingly important player in Craig McRae’s midfield mix.
The 22-year-old has featured in 19 senior games this year after making just 15 appearances across his first three seasons at AFL level.
Allan has gone up against some of the competition’s best this season, taking on the likes of Kysaiah Pickett, Zak Butters, Luke Davies-Uniacke and Noah Anderson, with his efforts earning him a spot in the 22Under22 squad.
General Manager of List and Talent Strategy Justin Leppitsch said:
“We’re really pleased to have Ed commit his future to the Club,”
“Ed’s had an incredible season this year, and it’s been great to see the growth in his game and the confidence he brings on the field.
“He’s worked hard to get to this point in his young career, playing the football that we knew he was capable of. We’re excited about what’s ahead for Ed and look forward to seeing him continue to grow over the next four years.”
