West Coast big man Scott Lycett is poised to cash in on his starring support role to Eagles star Nic Naitanui with a new contract.

Lycett has launched discussions on a new deal with West Coast management ahead of becoming a free agent at the end of the Eagles season that is now likely to extend deep into September’s finals series.

Any final decision and possible announcement is not expected for several weeks, but the in-form on-baller looks highly likely to stay at West Coast.

Eagles management is also expected to take further steps in discussions with star midfielder Andrew Gaff with the 2015 club champion’s manager Paul Connors in Perth from Melbourne this week.
