All-Australian midfielder Sam Walsh has signed a four-year contract extension with Carlton in a significant boost for the AFL club.
The 21-year-old star, who still had one season left to run on his existing deal, is now tied to the Blues until the end of 2026 - when he will become a restricted free agent.
Walsh, the No.1 draft pick in 2018, has already been elevated to joint vice-captain with Jacob Weitering in a streamlined leadership group with captain Patrick Cripps.
