Carlton ruckman Matthew Kreuzer has spurned interest from rival clubs to sign a new deal with the Blues.

Kreuzer, 26, is a restricted free agent and had attracted interest from the likes of Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs but chose to put pen to paper on a new two-year deal that ties him to the club until the end of the 2017 season.

“There are good times ahead for our us and I want to be a big part of restoring us as a successful club,” Kreuzer said via a statement on Friday.
