CAPTAIN Travis Boak is almost certain to finish his career as a Port Adelaide player after signing a massive four-year contract extension.

The mega multi-million dollar deal ties Boak to the club until the end of the 2018 season, meaning he is likely to be a one-club player.

Boak, 25, already was contracted for next season.

His new deal means he will stay at the club for the next five years and comes just over a year after he was torn between staying at the Power or returning to Victoria to play for Geelong.

"I'm really enjoying it here and I feel really settled," Boak said of his new contract.

"This is a fantastic group to be part of and I'm looking forward to spending the next five years here."

He has played 131 games for the Power.

His signature follows those of Jay Schulz, Hamish Hartlett, Jake Neade and Brad Ebert this week, giving the club plenty of on-field stability.

Coach Ken Hinkley described Boak as a natural leader.

"The people who play with him fall in behind him. Like a typical captain he gets them all going," Hinkley said.
