Western Bulldogs Champion Marcus Bontempelli Finally Inks New Deal

WESTERN Bulldogs superstar Marcus Bontempelli has finally ended any speculation about his future, signing a four-year deal with the club.

The 29-year-old was set to come out of contract at season's end, but his commitment until the end of 2029 has now been made official.

The confirmation came a day after Bontempelli was named the second greatest Bulldog ever, behind only EJ Whitten, at a special Centenary Gala at Mission Whitten Oval.

Bontempelli said he never planned on leaving the Bulldogs, but as with any other big decision in his life, he needed to spend time on it.

He went on to say "This club means so much to me, It is where I have grown as a man and spent all of my adult years since coming here at 18”.

The superstar midfielder has played 253 games for the club, which drafted him with pick No.4 in 2013.
