UTILITIES Rohan Bewick and Ryan Lester have re-signed with the Brisbane Lions until the end of 2018.

Bewick, drafted from West Perth in the WAFL, has played 86 games for the club since making his debut in 2011.

The 26-year-old had a solid start to the season before a groin injury sidelined him.

He is expected to return against Fremantle at the Gabba on Saturday.

Lester was taken at pick 28 in the 2010 AFL Draft and has played 71 career games.

The 23-year-old has played every match this season until a quad injury kept him out of Saturday's loss to Carlton.

He is likely to return against West Coast in round 13.

Lions' national talent manager Peter Schwab said the club was delighted to lock the pair away for two more years.

"Their form this year has been really important to the fabric of the team and they've played their roles really well," Schwab said.

"They're great clubmen, we're delighted that they've seen fit to sign on with us."
