“It’s very exciting, I couldn’t be happier,” Taberner told Fremantle’s official website.

“It’s great to have Fremantle showing that faith in me and I really want to repay the club by playing some good footy.

“I’m excited about the direction the club is going in. We’ve got a great core of young to mid-tier players.

"There’s also some really valuable leaders at the top end, so I think the future is looking really bright.”

Taberner’s 2018 campaign was ruined by a foot injury that sidelined him for 13 games.

Overall, he has played 62 AFL matches and kicked 62 goals for Freo.
