TRIPLE premiership Hawk Jack Gunston has penned a new three-year deal, with the 24-year-old to remain at the club until at least the end of 2019.

Gunston has played 92 games at Hawthorn since being traded by Adelaide at the end of 2011.

“We’re rapt that Jack has agreed to a contract extension for the next three years,” Hawthorn recruiting and list manager Graham Wright told the club’s website.

“Jack has been a vital part of our team since joining us from Adelaide at the end of the 2011 season, playing in four grand finals and three premierships.”

Round 18

Gunston booted 57 goals last season, including four in Hawthorn’s triumphant Grand Final over West Coast after returning from ankle injury for the game.

The ex-Crow has finished in the top 10 of Hawthorn’s best and fairest in each of the last three premiership years.

His signature follows teammate Cyril Rioli’s, who re-signed with the Hawks until the end of 2019 just before Christmas.

Gunston has booted six majors in three games this year and will take the field against St Kilda in Launceston on Saturday afternoon.
