Carlton veteran Kade Simpson has confirmed he'll play on in 2017, with the running defender's form as good as ever.

"I sat down with Steve Silvagni a couple of weeks ago. We're on the same page, so the contract will hopefully just roll over into next year at the end of the season."

It means the Blues stalwart will begin his 15th season in 2017 and edge closer to the 300-game milestone.

Given how ultra-consistent Simpson's form has been, and his ability to stay injury-free, there's no reason why he can't continue beyond next season.
