ST KILDA coach Ross Lyon has been given a one-year contract extension which will see him remain at the club until at least the end of the 2010 season.
Lyon, who took the club to a preliminary final in 2008, said he is looking forward to the challenge of turning the Saints into a side that can compete with the best in the competition.
"I’m really looking forward to the next few years at the Saints," said Lyon.
"The club understands that we have a challenge ahead of us to bridge the gap to the competition leaders, but we are in the process of building our list to a point where we have the confidence that we can compete with the best."
"I feel extremely privileged to be coaching at St Kilda."
"The club is about to enter a very exciting period and I will be doing everything that I can to repay the faith shown in me by the football club and also our supporters."
St Kilda chief executive Archie Fraser said the club had a 'high level of confidence' that Lyon can help the Saints achieve success.
“Ross is an outstanding fit and a valuable asset to our club, he works tirelessly with the list to get the absolute best out of our playing group,” Fraser said.
"Everyone at the club and the board has a high level of confidence in Ross to lead the club throughout the next few years," Fraser said.
