Prized Eagle Harley Reid has put pen to paper on a new deal at West Coast, knocking back the chance to return home to Victoria.<\/p>\n

Reid, who was already contracted for 2026, has signed a two-year extension to keep the No.1 draft pick in the west until at least the end of 2028.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m incredibly excited to sign on with this great club,\u201d Reid said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the day I arrived in Perth the West Coast Eagles members and fans have been so supportive of me and our team, and the future with our young squad is super exciting.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlaying at Optus Stadium in front of our fans is an unbelievable experience and I love representing the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe support from our coaches and my teammates has been amazing over the last two years, and I\u2019m looking forward to continuing to develop my game and helping the team climb back up the ladder.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t wait for the 2026 season and beyond to see what we can achieve together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reid\u2019s signature is a massive boost for the wooden spooners, who finished 2025 as the first team to ever record a 22-loss season.<\/p>\n

West Coast became just the fifth club in the past 50 years to post a one-win campaign, with Reid unable to take part in the final month due to a season-ending syndesmosis injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cHarley is a very important part of our future and has always displayed a great connection to our football club throughout the process,\u201d Eagles list boss Matt Clarke said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe embodies everything we want in a West Coast Eagle – skill, determination and a fierce competitive spirit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe future with Harley and his family on board with the West Coast Eagles is something that we feel will be very special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reid\u2019s commitment to the club comes only days after captain Oscar Allen walked out<\/a>, with the Eagles expected to end up with pick 2 as compensation.<\/p>\n

Reports had predicted Reid would sign a two-year deal with a trigger that would extend for an additional nine years. The club did not confirm if that was the case with this new deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe old two-year plus a nine-year extension to get to $24 million, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s going to happen now. That is going to be reworked, it\u2019s going to be a much shorter deal,\u201d 7NEWS Perth reporter Ryan Daniels said last week.<\/p>\n

The new deal reportedly sees Reid join St Kilda\u2019s Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera as the only players in the AFL\u2019s elusive $2 million club<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the Eagles and Reid\u2019s management had been discussing possible contract extensions for well over a year, clubs like Hawthorn, Geelong and Essendon were consistently linked to the Bendigo Pioneers product with reports St Kilda were prepared to offer him a 12-year, $25 million contract.<\/p>\n

The 2023 No. 1 draft pick had been a standout for the Eagles this season, leading the midfield in the absence of Elliot Yeo to average 18.8 disposals and four clearances in just his second year in the AFL.<\/p>\n

Reid kicked 14 goals in 19 games this season before his ankle injury abruptly ended his 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prized Eagle Harley Reid has put pen to paper on a new deal at West Coast, knocking back…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":97654,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":["post-97653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97653"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97653\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
