Western Bulldogs forward Sam Lloyd has signed a one-year contract extension.

The 29-year-old has been rewarded for a career-best year in his first season in red, white and blue, where he featured in all 23 matches at AFL level and led the Bulldogs’ goal-kicking tally with 38 majors.

Having joined the Bulldogs in the 2018 NAB AFL Trade Period on a two-year deal, Lloyd will now remain at VU Whitten Oval until at least the end of 2021.
