PORT ADELAIDE forward Brett Ebert has signed a new three-year deal which will see him remain at the club until at least the end of the 2011 season.
Ebert has played 92 games and kicked 144 goals since debuting in 2004 after being drafted under the father-son rule in 2002.
The 24-year-old was instrumental in getting Port to last year's grand final, booting 56 goals.
Port Adelaide coach Mark Williams said Ebert is a key part of the club's future.
"Brett's improvement over the past couple of seasons is a real credit to him," Williams said.
"To now be at the point where he's earned a long-term contract with our club says a lot for how far he's come, and is a credit to our development program as well."
"We're really looking forward to what he can bring us in the years ahead."
Ebert returned the praise to his senior coach, saying Williams had played a major role in his development as a footballer.
"The way he (Williams) has worked with me has been outstanding, he's a great coach," Ebert said.
"It's great to be able to stay at the same club and stay with the same bunch of guys and the same coaching staff. The club has shown a bit of faith in me, so now it's up to me to repay that on the field."
