WEST COAST midfielder Daniel Kerr has ended speculation about his playing future by signing a contract extension.
Kerr was contracted until the end of the 2009 season but had been linked with a move to a Melbourne-based club.
The Eagles have a policy of not divulging any contractual terms, so it is unclear how long Kerr has re-signed for.
In more good news for West Coast, recently retired Collingwood captain Scott Burns will join the club as an assistant coach.
It comes on the back of former Melbourne coach Neale Daniher being secured as the club's general manager football operations and the appointment of former Geelong and Port Adelaide assistant coach Phillip Walsh in the role of strategy and innovations assistant coach
Burns, who will be in Perth at the end of the month, said he is looking forward to embarking on his coaching career.
"I am really excited about moving into the next phase of my football life, working with John Worsfold, Neale Daniher, Phil Walsh and the rest of the football department," Burns said.
"The West Coast list is very young and I see a lot of promise in the group."
"It is a great opportunity for me to work at a very professional club which seems determined to push hard towards improving. There is a lot of upside in their squad."
