PORT Adelaide young guns Zak Butters and Connor Rozee have signed two-year contract extensions with the club.

The new deals tie Butters, 21, and Rozee, 22, to the Power until the end of the 2024 season.

The pair were both recruited by Port in the 2018 national draft, with Rozee the No.5 selection and Butters taken at pick 12.

Port's list manager Jason Cripps says the highly rated duo are integral to the Power's future.

"Zak and Connor bring an energy on and off the field that has become so important to our group," Cripps said in a statement on Saturday.

"They have also become young leaders who drive standards and bring others along with them around the club."

Both 48-gamer Butters and 59-gamer Rozee will increasingly move into Port's midfield this season after being stationed predominantly as roaming forwards in previous years.

The contract extensions come a day after Port announced the re-signing of Ryan Burton, Dan Houston, Tom Clurey and Willem Drew to longer term deals.
