Midfielder Dylan Shiel is the latest young star to re-commit to the Greater Western Sydney GIANTS.

The exciting 22-year old joins the likes of Jeremy Cameron, Jon Patton, Phil Davis, Devon Smith, Toby Greene, Adam Tomlinson and Will Hoskin-Elliott in re-signing in recent months.

Shiel has signed a new deal that will see him at the club until at least the end of 2017 after a two-year contract extension.

Shiel has been one of the dominant midfielders of the AFL in 2015, leading the GIANTS in disposals and sits in the top 10 for possessions across the league.

The goal kicking midfielder has played 60 games for the GIANTS since debuting in round 1, 2012. He arrived at the GIANTS as a 17-year-old priority access selection in 2010.

Shiel said he’s thrilled to remain a GIANT after such a strong start to the year.

“I believe we’re heading in the right direction and are on our way to achieving the ultimate success in the coming years," Shiel said.

“Having been here since the very start, I’ve seen the club grow both on and off the field and I’m enjoying life in Sydney.

“I’ve made some great mates here at the GIANTS and this is where I want to play my football.”

Chief Executive David Matthews said Shiel’s re-signing was another significant endorsement of the club.

“We’re delighted that Dylan has re-committed to the GIANTS," Matthews said.

“Dylan is not only a fantastic footballer but a terrific person, as seen with the work he does with the Auburn GIANTS women's team.

“He’s a leader of our club and wants to be a part of the exciting future here at the GIANTS."

Coach Leon Cameron said Shiel’s signature is an important one for the club.

“Dylan is one of the most professional players I’ve come across in my time in the AFL. Like many of his teammates, Dylan can see the direction the club is heading and I know our members and supporters will be thrilled Dylan has re-committed.”
