GEELONG has rewarded small forward Tyson Stengle for his outstanding first season at the club with a contract extension.
The 23-year-old will remain at the Cats until at least the end of 2024.
The former Tiger and Crow performed beyond expectations in 2022, finishing with 53 goals to provide the ideal foil for power forwards Tom Hawkins and Jeremy Cameron.
Stengle, who kicked four goals in the grand final mauling of Sydney, earned All-Australian selection.
“I’m really happy to be extending my time here at Geelong,” Stengle said.
“I’m really enjoying being part of this playing group and I feel really connected to my teammates.
“Last year was a memorable year for the Club and for me personally, and for the next two years I’m looking forward to working hard to keep improving and doing myself, my family and the Cats fans proud.”
Geelong list manager Andrew Mackie said the club was “happy” to extend Stengle’s time at GMHBA Stadium..
“In his first 12 months Tyson has settled in seamlessly and we’re really proud of what he was able to achieve in 2022,” Mackie said.
“Tyson works hard on his craft, is eager to keep improving and is a team player.
“He is very much a leader on the field amongst our forward group and has become an important part of our club.”
