GREATER Western Sydney has locked in a key part of its future with important defender Connor Idun signing a long-term deal.
Idun was due to come out of contract at the end of this season but is understood to have penned a new four-year extension.
It will take the backman through to the end of 2026, when he will be a free agent.
AFL.com.au’s Inside Trading flagged earlier this month that the 21-year-old was heading towards a new deal with the club.
His long-term commitment is a boost for the Giants, with Idun one of their priority re-signings this season.
