No.1 draft pick Jonathon Patton has extended his AFL deal with Greater Western Sydney until the end of 2016.
Patton was one of seven youngsters who recommitted to the Giants on Wednesday.
The tough forward who had an injury-interrupted year with the Giants in their inaugural season said he was happy to commit to the club long-term.
“It’s a great place to be,” he said. “I think we are in the best position we can possibly be in.
“I think success is going to happen sooner rather than later.”
Patton, whose contract was due to expire at the end of this year, was joined by Dom Tyson, Will Hoskin-Elliott, Andrew Phillips and Sam Frost in agreeing to contract extensions until the end of 2015.
Curtly Hampton and Aidan Corr have also committed to the club until the end of 2016.
Patton was the No.1 pick in the 2011 AFL draft.
