FREMANTLE has rewarded mature-age rookie Michael Barlow for his stunning start to his AFL career with a new two-year deal which will see him remain with the Dockers until at least the end of the 2012 season.
The 22-year-old - who was recruited from VFL club Werribee with pick eight in last year's rookie draft - has collected a total of 67 possessions and booted three goals in the first two rounds against Adelaide and Essendon after being elevated to Fremantle's senior list last month.
"Although Michael is only a few games into his career, we are very positive about his future prospects and his capacity to play a role in our midfield," Dockers player manager Brad Lloyd said.
Meanwhile, Fremantle has promoted Matt de Boer to their senior list to replace Dean Solomon who retired in February.
As a result, de Boer been named on an extended bench for Sunday's clash against Geelong at Subiaco Oval.
