POWER forward Levi Casboult will snub free agency and sign a new two-year deal with Carlton in the coming days.

Casboult was strongly linked with moves to Richmond and Collingwood as recent as three weeks ago but foxfooty.com.au understands he has chosen to stay at the club he supported growing up.

The two-year contract is believed to be worth somewhere between $350,000 and $400,000 per season with a range of incentives attached.

Casboult booted 34 goals and 18 behinds from 22 matches this season and took 52 contested marks, the second most in the league.

His kicking for goal improved dramatically on his 2016 numbers, which saw him finish the year with a 50/50 ratio of 18 majors and 18 points.

Casboult’s future had been a source of some conjecture throughout this season with free agency looming large. Coach Brendon Bolton was asked about Casboult in early August and was hopeful rather than confident that his key forward would sign a new deal.

“We’ll see how all that unfolds, I’d like to think so, but it always the unknown,” Bolton said.

Casboult has booted 105 goals from 94 matches since debuting in 2012.

He was selected with pick 44 in the 2010 rookie draft.
