Western Bulldogs forward Tory Dickson has signed a one-year contract extension for the 2019 season.

The 30-year-old played eight of his 96 career games this season, managing eight goals despite suffering successive hamstring injuries.

“I’m rapt to get another year at the Bulldogs and I’m excited to continue the journey,” Dickson said.

“I feel like I’ve got plenty to offer the team next season. After a frustrating season with injuries, I’m looking forward to getting back to full fitness and playing my role every week.”

Dickson has been a key part of the Dogs’ forward line since he joined the Club as a mature age recruit in the 2011 NAB AFL Draft (pick 57 overall).

He was a member of the Bulldogs’ 2016 Premiership side and has booted 157 goals in his career to date.

“Tory is a valuable member of our playing group, and his experience and forward craft will continue to be important for the team next year,” said Bulldogs’ General Manager of List and Recruiting, Sam Power.

“Tory has had his fair share of bad luck with injuries in the last two seasons, and with a consistent run next year we’re excited about what he can produce for us.”
