"I'm very happy to be staying at Port Adelaide," Surjan said.
"I'm always working on areas of my game, and with the recent retirements of experienced players, I'm looking forward to taking the next step in my development and becoming a leader here at the club."
"I look at our playing group and see a great, up-and-coming list that is determined to succeed. With such an exciting young list I'm very confident that the club is heading in the right direction."
"The decision to stay here at Port Adelaide was a pretty easy one in the end."
Power football operations manager Peter Rohde said Surjan was a consistent performer this season and that he has the potential to be a leader.
"He has set a great example this season through his intensity and defensive work. While he still has improvements to make, we believe he's got leadership potential and with 87 games under his belt we think he's about to enter the best stage of his career," Rohde said.
