Geelong have re-signed the first of their out-of-contract young stars, with speedy midfielder Max Holmes committing to the Cats for four more years.
Holmes was a strong target for other clubs after the 21-year-old was left out of the Cats side for the 2022 grand final after recovering from a hamstring injury.A source with knowledge of the negotiations said the new contract was agreed and would be announced soon.
Holmes was a priority signing for the Cats as they started the year with 23 players on their list out of contract. Premiership player Jack Henry, one of the few tall defenders who is an unrestricted free agent, is sure to attract opposition interest while unrestricted free agent Ty Stengle could command a strong contract after being an All-Australian and premiership player in his first season with the Cats.
