FREMANTLE has re-signed promising youngsters Stephen Hill and Greg Broughton.
Hill will remain with the Dockers until at least the end of the 2012 season after signing a one-year contract extension while Broughton has agreed to terms on a two-year deal which will tie him with the club until 2011.
Taken with the third pick in last year national draft, Hill played all 22 games and earned a NAB Rising Star nomination for his performance against West Coast in round six.
Broughton, a triple premiership player with Subiaco in the WAFL, was selected in the 2008 rookie draft and was elevated to the senior list in March.
The 22-year-old made 15 appearances and finished third in the AFL Players’ Association Best First Year Player award.
Fremantle's player management manager Brad Lloyd said the duo were an important part of the club’s future.
"They both impressed with the way they went about their football in their debut seasons," Lloyd said.
"We see Stephen and Greg as being long-term players for the club."
