Bulldogs List Manager, Jason McCartney said today the Club was thrilled to have secured the long term future of one of the team’s rising talents.
“We are really excited to have secured Luke and we think it’s a fantastic reflection on the future of our football club,” said McCartney.
“Although only in the early stages of his career, the talent and form we have seen from Luke, gives us every confidence in his future."
