WESTERN Bulldogs forward Tory Dickson will play on for at least one more season after signing a contract extension on Monday.
The veteran goalkicker booted 24 goals from 17 games in 2019, including a best haul of four majors against St Kilda in round 18, and was a key plank in the Dogs' late run towards September.

The 32-year-old premiership player is renowned as one of the AFL's most accurate set-shot exponents, with 181 goals over 113 matches.
A series of injuries had restricted him to just 17 appearances across the previous two seasons.
Dickson will be one of just three players on the club's list aged 30 or over at the start of 2020, alongside Easton Wood (30) and Matthew Suckling (31).
"We're really pleased to have Tory locked in for another year," general manager of list and recruiting Sam Power said.

"Tory was able to bounce back this year after a couple of injury-hit seasons to play consistent football at AFL level. He provided an important avenue to goal for us throughout the year and knows how to make the most of his opportunities.
"We're confident that he will have plenty to offer next year, complementing our emerging group of forwards."
The Bulldogs also locked in rookies Roarke Smith and Ryan Gardner to new deals for 2020.
Smith managed five games in 2019, while Gardner remarkably made his debut the week he was taken in the Mid-Season Rookie Draft.
Both players will remain on the rookie list in 2020.
