Western Bulldogs ruck Alice Edmonds will continue to call Mission Whitten Oval home until at least the end of 2026.
The 25-year-old was initially signed as an injury replacement player after being delisted from Richmond prior to Season 6.
She enjoyed a breakout Season 7 which catapulted her into All Australian contention, also claiming runner-up in the Best and Fairest count as well as being named Most Improved Bulldog.
Edmonds said she was thankful for getting another opportunity at the Kennel.
“It’s been a pretty unique journey for me – from when I first got here to now – but it just gave me that extra drive and extra want,” she said.
“I just wanted to improve and be able to reach the top level, and being in this environment and at this club has really assisted with that.
“I’m always so grateful I got a second chance here and can’t wait to take it even further.”
Bulldogs’ Head of List Management and Recruiting AFLW, Mick Sandry, said he was pleased to lock in the emerging ruck.
“Since joining the Bulldogs, Alice’s rapid rise to one of the elite rucks in the competition is a credit to her work ethic and determination to improve her football,” Sandry said.
“She is an integral part of our midfield set up and we look forward to her continuing to take her game to new levels over the next few seasons.”
