Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir has signed a one-year contract extension tying him to the club until at least the end of the 2025 season.
Longmuir was set to come out of contract at the end of this season putting him under pressure after the Dockers dropped out of the finals in 2023.
“I am grateful for the continuity this brings to the team,” said Longmuir.

“The club’s support, especially through the recent alterations and additions of our Football Department, has been significant.
“I am extremely excited by the playing group, coaching team and support staff around me, all of whom I have complete trust in.
“This team is the most connected group I have encountered during my tenure and I am eager to see what we can achieve.
“We are all committed to achieving success, and I’m excited to lead this talented group towards our goals.”
Fremantle CEO Simon Garlick said the contract extension aligns with the club’s broader strategy.
“We believe in what we are building here at the Fremantle Dockers,” said Garlick.
“Justin embodies the coaching excellence and vision that aligns with our ambitions.
“He has an incredible handle on the game and is passionate about teaching it in a way that resonates with and is impactful to his players.
“We strongly believe in the program that Justin, our playing group and overall football department are embedding and driving, and the decision to extend his contract aligned with what we believe we can achieve in the coming years and beyond.”
