Brisbane Lions midfielder Ryan Lester has agreed to a new deal with the Club.

The 21-year old, has committed to a new two-year contract with the Club, which will see him remain a Lion until at least the end of the 2016 season.

After making his debut in Round 1, 2011, Lester played his 50th AFL match for the Lions in Saturday’s win over the Suns.

Recruited from Oakeligh Chargers, Lester was drafted by the Lions with Pick No.28 overall in the 2010 NAB AFL Draft.

Lester joins teammates, Rohan Bewick and Nicholas Robertson on the list of young Lions who have re-signed with the Club this month.

Lions General Manager, Football Operations, Dean Warren, said:

“Ryan is a key part of a fantastic, talented young group that we are building at the Lions.

“He has really developed as a footballer throughout the last 12 months and it is great to see him commit to the Club until the end of the 2016 Season.

“To have Ryan, Nick and Rohan agree to new terms this week is fantastic news for our Club. These players are the future of our Club and players that our fans will hopefully be able to enjoy success with in years to come.”
