WEST COAST has strengthened its on-field future with the re-signing of promising forward Ben McKinley.
McKinley was one of the few shining lights in a horror season for the Eagles, booting 42 goals in 18 games.
The 21-year-old also earned a NAB Rising Star nomination and finished sixth in overall voting.
West Coast’s general manager of football operations Steve Woodhouse said McKinley is an integral part of the club’s future.
"Ben enjoyed an outstanding year to be our leading goal-kicker and we believe he is an important part of our future," Woodhouse said.
"To do that in his first full season of senior football was a terrific achievement and something on which we believe he can build."
The Eagles didn't reveal any of the details of McKinley's new deal.
