St Kilda Football Club is delighted to announce that Tom Curren, Tom Simpkin and Clint Jones have re-signed with the club.

After spending three years on the Saints’ rookie list, Curren has also been elevated to the primary list after a promising debut season.

Curren, 21, and Simpkin, 23, have penned two-year deals respectively, while Jones, 29, joins recently re-signed forward Adam Schneider, 29, in extending his contract for a further year.

Head of Football Chris Pelchen said the trio’s re-commitment was a sign of confidence among the playing group in the Saints' onfield direction, and gave credit to St Kilda’s recruitment and coaching staff, with each player having begun their career on the rookie list.

“It’s testament to their determination and persistence that all three players have earned their position via the rookie list and are now an integral part of the Saints,” Pelchen said.

“Credit must also go to our recruitment and coaching staff that have helped identify and develop them to play at the highest level.”

Since coming to the club in 2007, Jones has carved his place in the game as one of the AFL’s elite taggers in his 133 games, shutting down the likes of Gary Ablett and Dane Swan.

Fellow midfielder Curren has shown he can also match it with the best at AFL level, averaging 16 disposals in just seven games in Saints colours, including a career-best 26-disposal performance against Fremantle in the last game of the season.

After winning the best and fairest award with VFL-affiliate Sandringham in 2012, the on-baller debuted in Round 17 this year, playing every remaining game of the season.

Simpkin, a close checking defender who has had a challenging year with injury in 2013, has also shown strong promise for the Saints.

He enjoyed a breakout season in 2012, playing 19 games in Saints colours and at 191cm has proven his defensive abilities as a mobile player in St Kilda’s backline.
