Melbourne defender Steven May will remain a Demon until at least the end of the 2025 season after inking a two-year contract extension.
The 31-year-old’s new deal was announced on Friday with the contract being signed before he came out of contract at season’s end.
Melbourne list manager Tim Lamb says he’s looking forward to what the two-time All-Australian can produce in the coming years.
"Steven is an incredible asset for us. He has become a key pillar of our team structure and, with his high-level footy IQ, is continuing to push his own boundaries while helping develop those around him," Lamb said via a statement.
"We look forward to what Steven can bring to the team over these next three seasons."
May says he feels privileged to earn an extension as he enters his 13th season in the competition.
"I'm really humbled and privileged because playing for this club has been an amazing experience and we've got a really good young group of core guys who I think are destined for sustained success," May said.
"Being 31 now, it's hard to know where you sit in the team but it's good to get another couple of years added on to my contact .. and hopefully I'll be a part of the short term success at the club."
May has played 70 games including the 2021 premiership for Melbourne since joining the club in 2018 from Gold Coast whom he played 123 games for.
