ROBBIE Gray will be 30 years old when his contract next comes up for renewal after penning a new multi-year deal to keep him at Alberton until at least the end of 2018.The All-Australian's three-year contract extension will be welcome news for Port Adelaide supporters who were treated to a football masterclass by the livewire forward in 2014.Gray, 26, had a career best season where he played all 25 games, including the Power's three finals, and kicked 42 goals.His consistency and impact throughout the year saw him also draw recognition from coaches within and outside of Alberton.The Victorian secured the AFL Coaches Association's Champion Player of the Year award with a round to spare and received the recognition of his own coaches with his inaugural John Cahill Medal as Port Adelaide's top player.While Gray penning the new deal seemed a fait accompli to many, his desire to remain at the club saw him ink the extension with a year to spare on his current contract.It caps a year for Gray that also saw him elevated into the club's leadership group and play in the International Rules test match against Ireland in November.But the elusive ultimate of team success is something he says will drive him next year.“Obviously it’s nice to find some consistency with my own form but what I really enjoyed was the way the whole team played this year,” Gray told“But we’re not satisfied with where we’re at, we’re going to attack this pre-season harder than ever to take our game to another level.”DOB: 30/03/1988Recruited from: East Burwood/Oakleigh ChargersDrafted: Pick 55 (2006 NAB AFL Draft)Debut: Round 10, 2007 v HawthornNAB AFL Rising Star Nomination (Round 12, 2007)2011 Port Adelaide leading goal kickerInternational Rules (2011, 2014)2014 All Australian forward pocket2014 John Cahill Medallist
