Key forward rejects rival interest to pen long-term deal at Hawks
Mitch Lewis has signed a new four year-extension to remain in brown and gold
HAWTHORN has received a huge boost with key forward Mitch Lewis signing a new deal at the Hawks.
The free agent had received plenty of interest from rival clubs, but has signed a new four-year deal, tying him to the Hawks until the end of 2030.
The new deal for Lewis comes after veteran Jack Gunston signed a one-year extension to play on for an 18th season.
The focus will now turn to another free agent, Gold Coast spearhead Ben King, who has had interest from the Hawks and is yet to decide on his playing future.
Ben King set to leave the Suns for Hawks in a stunning about-face
Mitch Lewis is set to line up alongside Ben King in brown and gold next year, knocking back interest from other clubs to recommit to Hawthorn despite the recruitment of another key forward.
Clubs such as Collingwood had hoped that Hawthorn’s pursuit of King could’ve persuaded Lewis to have his head turned by rival offers. But two competition sources with knowledge of the situation, speaking anonymously, have confirmed the 27-year-old has told the club he will stay with the two parties putting the final touches on a long-term deal.
Hawthorn’s list management believes Lewis – an athletic marking forward – can play further up the ground, which would allow King to lead out of the goal square. The Hawks’ forward line will also include Jack Gunston for at least another season after the evergreen 34-year-old put pen to paper on a one-year deal. He has kicked 40 goals in 12 games so far this season, off the back of a career-high 73 last year.
