ESSENDON coach Matthew Knights has signed a two-year contract extension with the Bombers.
The new deal means Knights will lead the club until at least the end of the 2012 season.
The former Richmond captain replaced Kevin Sheedy at the helm in 2008 and led the Dons to their first finals appearance since 2004 this season.
Knights said he was 'very excited' about the club's future.
“I am very excited about the direction this football club is heading,” Knights said.
“We have unearthed a number of talented young players this season but there is still a lot of hard work to be done – we are under no illusion about that.
“I want to thank the club for the opportunity to keep working with the playing group to try and achieve premiership success.”
