FREMANTLE midfielder Rhys Palmer is out of the Gold Coast's reach after signing a one-year extension which will see him remain at the Dockers until at least the end of 2011.
The new Gold Coast club can sign 16 uncontracted players - one from each club - at the end of the 2010 season.
The promising 20-year-old, who is currently recovering from knee surgery, won the 2008 NAB Rising Star award and would have been high on their wish list.
Dockers general manager of player development said the club was delighted to have extended Palmer's deal.
"Rhys is the reigning NAB Rising Star and an important part of our long-term future. We are delighted that he has committed to Fremantle through to the end of 2011," Lloyd said.
"Following his surgery earlier in the season, Rhys has been working very diligently on his rehabilitation and we are really looking forward to having him back out on the field next season."
Fremantle also announced that Ryan Crowley, Dean Solomon, Kepler Bradley and youngster Tim Ruffles had signed new contracts.
Crowley, who suffered a season-ending foot injury against West Coast in round six, penned a two-year deal which will tie him to the Dockers until the end of 2011.
Solomon and Bradley agreed to one-year deals, while Ruffles who is expected to be sidelined for the majority of next season after undergoing a knee reconstruction was given a one-year extension on his current two-year contract.
