The Fremantle Dockers have successfully secured the services of star midfielder Andy Brayshaw, who has signed a six-year contract extension keeping him at the club until the end of the 2031 AFL season. This significant move effectively removes Brayshaw from the upcoming free agency pool, quelling any speculation about his potential departure. citeturn0search2
Brayshaw’s decision underscores his commitment to Fremantle, reflecting his desire to be a one-club player. He expressed his deep affection for the club and the Western Australian community, stating that he and his partner have fallen in love with Perth. This sentiment aligns with the club’s broader strategy of retaining key players, as evidenced by recent contract extensions for other stars, including Hayden Young, Sean Darcy, Brennan Cox, Josh Treacy, Jye Amiss, Shai Bolton, and Luke Jackson, all of whom are now committed to Fremantle until at least 2029. citeturn0news20
Brayshaw’s new contract is a testament to his value both on and off the field. An All-Australian and recipient of multiple accolades, including the Doig Medal and the Leigh Matthews Trophy, he has been instrumental in Fremantle’s midfield. His leadership and consistent performance, averaging 28 disposals or more over the past four seasons, have solidified his status as a pivotal figure in the team’s pursuit of its first AFL premiership. citeturn0search2
