NEWCASTLE Jets have continued to tie down their star performers with the re-signing of Marko Jesic for the next two seasons, just 24 hours after Nikolai Topor-Stanley was retained too.
Although the new deals shore up the side for next season, veteran striker Sasho Petrovsski has missed out on a new contract and is set to be released at the end of the current campaign.
But young gun Jesic is excited about his commitment to the Jets.
“There is no place I would rather be. I am really excited about being here for the next two seasons and really looking forward to our future,” he said.
“I consider Newcastle my second home, it is a great city to live in and a great club to represent.”
Jets Chief Executive Officer John Tsatsimas said the club was pleased another key signing had been completed ensuring a healthy future for the Jets.
“It was really important that we re-signed Marko," he said. "He has exhibited that he is not only a talented young player but also a mentally tough competitor after the adversity he has been through with injury and forms a vital cog in our wheel as we progress.
“Our future is really looking bright, as we have made some strong re-signings in the past weeks and we will continue to build our list with quality players that will give us every opportunity to challenge for honours next season.”
