Lachie Whitfield has re-signed with Greater Western Sydney.

The former No.1 draft pick is now tied to the Giants until the end of 2020.

The Victorian-raised midfielder was sure to be attracting plenty of interest from clubs in his home state.

“It was a pretty easy decision really,” Whitfield said.

“This has been my home since I arrived five years ago and this is where I want to play my football.

“I love the Sydney lifestyle and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

“We’re building something special and I’m looking forward to what’s to come in the next few years.”
