In-form hard nut extends stay with Lions

2019-07-17T19:34+10:00

Brisbane hard nut Mitch Robinson has signed a two-year contract extension.

Robinson’s new deal will see him remain a Lion until at least the end of the 2021.

The 30-year-old has repaid the faith shown by the Lions after he was delisted by Carlton at the end of the 2014 season.

“For the team that gave me a second lifeline, I’m very grateful to them,” Robinson told lions.com.au.

“Thankfully Greg Swann saw something in me to offer me a contract.

“I feel like I’m always indebted to them.”

Robinson is enjoying an outstanding season averaging 21 disposals and five tackles per game in 2019.

Academy graduate Jack Payne also penned a two-year deal with Brisbane.

Payne, 19, has been struck down by shin injuries and is yet to play a senior game.
