Tom Liberatore has signed a two-year contract extension with the Western Bulldogs.

Liberatore had to wait until after last year's trade period to sign a one-year deal for 2019, but the Dogs have seen enough after 12 rounds this year to lock him away until the end of 2021.

He has played every game and averaged 23 disposals and 4.5 tackles.

"Being loyal to my teammates is a big thing for me," Liberatore, who has played 128 games since being recruited as a father-son pick in the 2019 draft, told the Dogs website.

"I’ve been part of this group for nine years now, and I’m happy where I am.

"It’s been good to come back from injury and play every game so far this year, and nice to sign on for two more years to have that comfort around the future.

"I’m really looking forward to the back half of the year, and how we can grow this year and over the next couple of years.

"This group has the promise and the talent to get back to the top, and we’ve shown that ability in certain games this year. I think that we will keep getting better.”
