Brisbane captain Dayne Zorko has inked a one-year contract extension with the club.
The five-time Merrett-Murray Medallist’s new deal sees him through until the end of the 2023 campaign.
While Zorko turns 34 before the start of next season, he’s confident that he has a lot to offer in his 12th year with the club.
“The club has been building towards something really exciting the past few seasons and with that looking to continue next year, I really wanted to be a part of it,” Zorko said via a statement.
“Even though I am not getting any younger, I have been really enjoying my football as we have such a great group of players and people at the Club.
“I am extremely thankful for the Brisbane Lions to back me to go around again, and I look forward to joining the boys in making the Club and all of our fans proud in 2023.”
GM of football Danny Daly was thrilled to secure Zorko’s services for the 2023 season.
“We are thrilled to have Dayne playing on again next year and are more than confident he will continue to play a valuable role on and off the field,” Daly said via a statement.
“From the day he joined the Brisbane Lions he has given his absolute all to the Club and he continues to put in the work to become the best he can be.
“He still offers plenty as a player, but as we look to bring in more young and exciting talent, the leadership and mentoring that Dayne can offer them is invaluable.”
