PORT Adelaide has finished a forgetful year on a high note by re-signing three key players.

Kane Cornes, Tom Logan and Cameron Hitchcock have all put pen to paper to commit to the Power.

Cornes, 27, played his 200th game for Port Adelaide earlier in the season and is once again set to complete a season without missing a match, with Sunday’s clash with Richmond his 171st consecutive game.

Power football operations manager Peter Rohde says Cornes’ re-signing is a significant part of Port Adelaide’s future.

“Kane’s consistency and durability has been outstanding for many years and he continues to play a very important role in our midfield,” Rohde said.

“He has the unique ability to play on some of the best midfielders in the competition while at the same time winning plenty of his own football. Kane certainly remains an integral part of our side moving forward.”

Cornes said he was thrilled to continue his career at Alberton.

“To have the opportunity to finish at the club I started at is something that I’m proud of and something I always wanted to achieve,” he said.

Logan, 25, has played 68 games for Port Adelaide since being recruited from the Brisbane Lions at the 2006 AFL Rookie Draft.

Rohde said Logan was highly rated among the inner sanctum at Port Adelaide.

“Tom has great respect amongst our playing group,” he said.

“He’s very popular within the club and I’m sure our supporters appreciate the way he goes about his football. Tom continues to work hard on his game and his courage and passion for our club cannot be questioned.”

Logan said he never thought about leaving the club that gave him a chance to fulfil his AFL dream.

“I love playing here at Port Adelaide,” he said.

“I’ve really enjoyed my last five years here at the club and I can’t wait to play my part in our exciting young team.”

Hitchcock, 20, was promoted from the rookie list at the start of the year and made his debut in round one against North Melbourne. He has played 17 games as a small forward, kicking 20 goals.

Rohde says that Hitchcock has made a rapid rise from playing in the reserves at Glenelg to being a regular Port Adelaide player.

“He still has a fair bit of work to do on his body, but we’re confident that he’ll continue to develop into an exciting, long term small forward for our club,” he said.

Under  AFL rules, Hitchcock automatically reverts to the rookie list at the end of the season, but Rohde said he would be quickly elevated to the senior list.

Hitchcock said he had enjoyed his first season in the AFL system.

“I’ve forged a great bond with all the players here at the club and have really enjoyed my first year,” he said.

“I thank the club for the opportunity to play at this level and I hope to repay their faith in me.”
