Murphy Reid Set to Commit to Fremantle Until 2032

The reported extension secures a breakout midfielder with a pay rise timed after 2027, reinforcing Fremantle’s deliberate strategy to lock its young core as it pushes for a first premiership.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported on Monday that Murphy Reid has agreed to a fresh contract that will extend his time at Fremantle through the end of the 2032 season, adding roughly three years to his current deal.
  • The new deal is reported to include a significant pay rise that takes effect after 2027 when Reid’s initial three-year Collective Bargaining Agreement term finishes.
  • Reid’s rapid rise — last year’s AFL Rising Star, a Glendinning-Allan best-on-ground with 26 disposals and a goal, and 43 consecutive games since debut — underpins Fremantle’s decision to move early to retain him.
  • Fremantle confirmed separately that key defender Hugh Davies has re-signed for three years to at least the end of 2029, with club officials citing his WAFL form and interest from rival clubs.
  • The two signings follow a clear club pattern of locking emerging talent to long-term deals, a strategy aimed at list continuity, reducing the chance rivals or the new Tasmanian club target key youngsters, and supporting Fremantle’s premiership push.
