Hawthorn key target has committed to a multi-year contract extension with the club. The move stops interest from the Gold Coast Suns, who were planning a play for their forward in free agency. A Hawthorn teammate was also re-signed as well, though no firm update on King’s future was shared. The announcement comes after weeks of constant speculation about the next step for King. The news network originally carried the story on the two-year deal for Lewis. The Hawks reinforce their list while the Suns regroup after a near miss.
