Harley Reid's extraordinary contract demand for Victorian AFL suitors
Any move for Harley Reid back to Victoria will take a record-breaking commitment.
www.sportingnews.comHere’s the latest I can confirm:
-
Harley Reid re-signed with West Coast Eagles through 2028, securing him beyond the 2026 season. This was reported by multiple outlets in August 2025 and described as a major commitment for the club. The deal was said to be worth around $2 million per year, keeping Reid with West Coast amid ongoing speculation about rival interest.[1][2]
-
There had been widespread reporting in mid-2025 about extraordinary offers from Victorian clubs (for example, talks of long-term, high-value bids), but the club remained confident in keeping him long-term. Some outlets framed these discussions as negotiations over a potential extension rather than imminent changes to the current deal.[2][3]
-
There was also coverage of a broader context around Reid’s contract talks in 2025, including perspectives from various insiders and media personalities, with ongoing debate about whether a new deal would be reached and under what terms. However, the August 2025 re-signing indicates a resolution in favor of Reid staying with West Coast for the near term.[3][2]
Key sources you can check for the specifics:
- West Coast Eagles contract news and details around Reid’s extension (August 2025).[1]
- Analysis and updates on contract negotiations and rival offers (June–July 2025).[2][3]
If you’d like, I can pull the exact contract figure and terms from a single source and summarize them, or look for more recent developments beyond 2025 to confirm whether there have been any further extensions or changes.
