West Coast re-sign forward Amy Franklin to 2029 deal

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 22 Oct, 04:20 · Archive

West Coast forward Amy Franklin has signed a three-year contract extension, tying her to the club until 2029.

West Coast have secured their forward future with Amy Franklin recommitting to the Eagles. The 23-year-old signed a three-year extension on Thursday, tying her to the club until 2029. This gives the Eagles a strong forward pillar to build around.

Franklin has been the main weapon for the Eagles this season, kicking a career-best 11 goals and was sorely missed in their recent defeat to Geelong as they struggled to find routes to goal without her presence. She is averaging career highs for disposals and marks this season.

'I'm feeling very excited to be signing on again; I love this club so much and am so grateful for the opportunities I've had here,' Franklin said. She added that she loves being around the group and is keen to see where the team can head in the next couple of years. AFLW List and Recruiting Manager Jordan Loxley described Franklin as a natural leader who sets standards within the group. With her future secured, the Eagles can now focus on adding more attacking weapons to support her aerial dominance.
