Surjan, 24, has played 87 games with Port Adelaide since arriving at the club via pick 10 at the 2004 NAB AFL Pre-season Draft.
Port Adelaide’s General Manager of Football Operations Peter Rohde says the club is delighted to have re-secured Surjan’s signature.
“Jacob has been rewarded for a breakout season. He’s been very consistent and taken his game to the next level by successfully matching up on the opposition’s best players,” Rohde said.
“He has set a great example this season through his intensity and defensive work. While he still has improvements to make, we believe he’s got leadership potential and with 87 games under his belt we think he’s about to enter the best stage of his career.”
Surjan says he is very excited to re-sign with the Power and is now looking forward to continually improving his game.
“I’m very happy to be staying at Port Adelaide,” Surjan said.
“I’m always working on areas of my game, and with the recent retirements of experienced players, I’m looking forward to taking the next step in my development and becoming a leader here at the club.
“I look at our playing group and see a great, up and coming list that is determined to succeed. With such an exciting young list I’m very confident that the club is heading in the right direction. The decision to stay here at Port Adelaide was a pretty easy one in the end.”
Surjan is currently holidaying in Perth with his family.
