Jamarra Ugle-Hagan is on the verge of re-signing with the Western Bulldogs.
Channel 9 reporter and SEN regular Tom Morris is reporting that the 21-year-old key forward will imminently put pen to paper on a multi-year contract.
Morris believes it is either a two-year or four-year deal for Ugle-Hagan who is currently contracted until the end of 2024.
Ugle-Hagan has attracted interest from several rival clubs but it appears as though he’ll remain with the Dogs for the foreseeable future.
Lock it in 🔒: Jamarra Ugle-Hagan will re-sign for the @westernbulldogs.

The only question is whether it’s a two-year deal or four years. The latter would take him to free agency.
Either way, he’s not going anywhere. @FootyonNine @wwos @9NewsMelb
“Good news for Western Bulldogs fans. I can tell you this morning that Jamarra Ugle-Hagan isn’t going anywhere,” Morris said on SEN Breakfast.
“He hasn’t re-signed yet, but he will. It will be a two or four-year deal and you can lock it in that he’ll be at the Dogs for the foreseeable future.
“We’re talking good money, but I’m sure he could have got even better money elsewhere. It’s been widely reported that the Hawks have interest, Richmond, Collingwood, Essendon, Sydney, these sorts of clubs were weighing up what they could offer him and how long that deal could be.
“I’m not sure what the money will be at the Dogs but I do know that four years will take him to free agency, two years is obviously a shorter term.
“The order of events here is that his management has told clubs over the past few days that he’ll be staying at the Dogs. Yesterday the Dogs were informed by his manager Robbie D’Orazio that he will be staying and now it’s just a matter of getting a deal done.”
The Dogs recently signed Aaron Naughton to a long-term deal and his forward partner Ugle-Hagan is set to follow.
Ugle-Hagan was taken with Pick 1 in the 2020 draft and has kicked 62 goals from 46 matches in the red, white and blue.
