Essendon Football Club is pleased to announce Nick Kommer has signed a new two-year contract, securing the lively forward until at least the end of the 2016 season.

The 23-year-old was drafted from East Perth, and played 19 games in his debut season last year.

Kommer said he was thrilled to extend his contract, after initially being drafted as a mature-age recruit in 2012.

“I’m really excited to sign on with the club for two more years and hopefully as a team we play a good, exciting brand of football this year,” Kommer said.

“We have a pretty strong midfield so I will keep working up forward and try to have more of an impact on the scoreboard, but hopefully I can push through there over time.”

Senior coach Mark Thompson said Kommer was rewarded for an excellent debut season.

“To play 19 games in his debut season is a credit to the way he attacks his football and he has become an important part of our forward line structure,” Thompson said.

“Nick knows he has a lot to build on, but he has shown glimpses of his potential and we’re really excited about his future.”

To celebrate the announcement the Bomber Shop is offer fans a free number 38 heat press on all guernsey's purchased in the next 24 hours.
