Western Bulldogs ruckman Will Minson has signed a two-year contract extension with the AFL club.

The 28-year-old All-Australian was contracted until the end of next season but the club moved to retain him at Whitten Oval until the end of 2016.

Minson played all 22 games this season and was selected in the AFL’s team of the year for the first time.

He also finished third in the Bulldogs’ best and fairest count behind midfielders Ryan Griffen and Tom Liberatore.
