THE LURE of a premiership in the coming years was a key factor in Devon Smith putting pen to paper on a new two-year deal with Greater Western Sydney.

The contract extension will see the nippy small forward remain at the club until the end of 2017.

Smith joined high-profile teammate Jeremy Cameron in turning his back on a return home to Victoria, satisfied the Giants will provide him with the chance to taste the ultimate success.

"This is the place I want to be," Smith told the club's website.

"When you sit down and think about what you want at the end of your career, I want to play in a premiership, that’s what everyone plays for. "

The 21-year-old is coming off his best season at AFL level, booting 26 goals and averaging 21.5 disposals per game.

Smith, drafted by the Giants with pick No. 14 in the 2011 NAB AFL Draft, also finished runner-up in the club's best and fairest award – the Kevin Sheedy Medal – behind star ruckman Shane Mumford.

The youngster, who hails from Lara near Geelong, admitted he found the move to Sydney initially challenging.

"It took a while for me to settle in Sydney, but now I love it," he said.

"I bought a boat and 'Jez' (Jeremy Cameron) and I are out fishing all the time. My girlfriend has moved up, my family come up frequently and I'm really enjoying the Sydney lifestyle."

Giants chief executive David Matthews said Smith's re-signing was a strong testament to the culture the club had created.

"We have excellent training facilities, a talented playing list and coaching group and a strong and united club that is focused on delivering success for its fans," Matthews said.

"Sydney also offers a great lifestyle for our young players and we're delighted they are choosing our club and all it has to offer."

Coach Leon Cameron added, "Devon is an exciting young talent and a future leader of our club. It further demonstrates that our young players are buying into the club."

Smith joins a number of players including Cameron, co-captain Phil Davis, Jonathon Patton, Toby Greene, Adam Tomlinson, Nick Haynes, Josh Kelly and Adam Kennedy who have re-committed to the Giants.

However, Dylan Shiel, Adam Treloar and Stephen Coniglio are yet to re-sign with the club and remain priorities.
