Fremantle young gun Jye Amiss has locked away his future at the club, signing a massive contract extension until the end of 2029.
The 19-year old was already contracted until the end of 2025, but has added a further four years of commitment to the Dockers in one of the longest deals in the AFL.
Amiss joins fellow 2021 draftee Matt Johnson in re-signing with Freo this week and is now tied to the club for the same tenure as recruit Luke Jackson, who immediately signed a six-year extension.

“I love the club and I love the people that are here,” Amiss said.
“It was an easy decision to stay here for a longer period of time. It‘s a good time for us to take the club forward.”
The No. 8 pick in the 2021 National Draft, Amiss has impressed in a short time at the Dockers, having led the club’s goalkicking this season with 29 majors from 14 games.
It includes an equal career-high four-goal performance from the youngster against the Western Bulldogs on the weekend.
Dockers list manager David Walls said securing Amiss’ signature was a significant win given what the emerging forward has produced in just his second season.
“What he’s doing for his age for young key forward is so rare,” Walls said.
“The calibre of key forward that he is, is very hard to find. He‘s producing as a second-year player at 19, he’s still so inexperienced but showing so much.
“He’s got such a great attitude, great character and work ethic. He wants to be a really good player in the competition and he’s exactly what we’ve been looking for.
“It’s exciting to see where he can get to in the next five or six years. We had high hopes for him, but to do what he’s doing at this stage is exceeding expectations.”
