WESTERN BULLDOGS skipper Brad Johnson will become the first player in the club's history to reach 350 games after signing a one-year deal.
Johnson will play his 350th match in round one next season.
The 33-year-old, who finished fourth in the 2009 Charlie Sutton Medal count for the club's best-and-fairest player, said he was 'rapt' to be playing on next year.
"The fact that Brian (Lake) has recommitted to the club and with the inclusion of Barry Hall for the 2010 season, it's a fantastic time to be at the Western Bulldogs," Johnson said.
Bulldogs football manager James Fantasia said Johnson's leadership would be vital in 2010.
"Apart from his ability, Brad is just an exceptional character to have around the club," Fantasia said.
"He is a fantastic mentor to our young players and a great leader on the ground."
