FREMANTLE young gun Adam Cerra says he will sit down with the club at the end of the season to thrash out a contract extension.
Cerra is the only top-10 draft pick from 2017 yet to re-sign and it was reported last week that the Victorian was gettable, only 12 months after he was drafted at No.5.
But Round 16 Rising Star nomination Cerra is expected to re-sign until 2021.
The midfielder has settled in Perth and will soon move out from a host family to rent with teammates Andrew Brayshaw and Hugh Dixon.

“I’m looking to sit down with Freo and my management at the end of the season,” Cerra said.
“I just wanted to put that stuff to the side when the season started and just focus on footy week to week.
“We’ll look more to that at the end of the season.”
Cerra, 18, received the Rising Star nomination after collecting 23 disposals in Saturday night’s 54-point loss to Melbourne in Darwin.
“I’m loving (Perth) at the moment,” Cerra said.
“It’s quite different to Melbourne, a bit warmer and always close to a beach.”
In Round 12, Cerra recorded 30 disposals in a best-afield performance against Adelaide in the absence of Nat Fyfe and Aaron Sandilands.
Cerra became the second-youngest player to poll maximum 10 coaches’ votes, although teammate Brennan Cox earned the Rising Star nomination with four goals.
