Young emerging midfielder, Ed Langdon has agreed to a two-year contract extension, signing him on until the end of season 2019.
Langdon says he is really excited to be staying on at the club.
“I’m stoked to be at the club for another two years, the club’s in a really strong place at the moment with all the young guys coming through,” Langdon said.
“I’m really excited.”
This year hasn’t exactly gone to plan for the young midfielder but he is remaining positive on his road to recovery.
The 21-year-old was ruled out for the remainder of the 2017 season after an injury to his PCL in round 11 and underwent knee surgery on Tuesday last week.
“I’m really optimistic, so I can tick that box off and now I can really focus on getting the rehab right and being good to go day one of pre-season,” Langdon said.
Langdon was selected at pick 54 in the 2014 National draft alongside Connor Blakely, Lachie Weller and Ethan Hughes, and says it’s good to develop together as a group.
“Naturally you bond pretty closely with the blokes you were drafted with and I was lucky enough to be drafted with some ripper blokes and some pretty good footballers as well,” Langdon said
“It’s really good to develop together and we stick pretty close.”
Langdon also says there is a lot to love about the lifestyle in the west.
“I love WA, love the beaches, love the weather, love all the blokes at the club, it’s a pretty good place to be at the moment,” Langdon said.
Langdon leans on fellow midfielder Bradley Hill who he says, has really helped with his development at the club.
“Bradley’s been an unbelievable player and I love the way he goes about it, so I’m just trying to learn as much as I can off of him and he’s been great for my development so far,” Langdon said
“I look forward to learning more from him in the next few years.”
