Pitt, 20, was recently diagnosed with a heart irregularity, and some media outlets on Wednesday suggested he would be forced into an early retirement.
However, Fremantle released a statement on Wednesday afternoon saying Pitt still wanted to pursue an AFL career.
"After receiving the initial diagnosis from a specialist in Perth, I consulted a Melbourne cardiologist and have subsequently worked through both opinions with my family," Pitt said.
"At this stage, I’m working closely with the doctors, my family and the club to determine where we go from here.
"With that level of support, I’m remaining upbeat and continue to have a positive outlook as far as playing football goes."
Freo's general manager of football operations Chris Bond said the club was committed to supporting Jayden and his family.
"Jayden remains optimistic about the future of his football career and we will continue to support him and his family," Bond said.
Fremantle has enjoyed a 2-0 start to the new season and takes on another unbeaten team in Essendon at home on Friday night .
