Jack Sinclair signs a two-year contract extension to remain at St Kilda until the end of 2021.

"I just love every opportunity I'm given to pull on the jumper. I'm proud to be a Saint and so very happy to be committed for another two years," Sinclair said.

"I just want to keep playing my role and helping the team improve. I really believe in what we're building and I can't wait to get stuck in and see where it can take us."

Jack Sinclair signs a two-year contract extension with St Kilda that will keep him at the club until the end of 2019.

At the time of his signing, Sinclair had played 11 straight games for the Saints, the longest streak in his career.

"Early days, if I had one bad game I'd be pretty worried about losing my spot in the team, but I feel like I'm sort of getting there in terms of establishing myself in the team," Sinclair said.

St Kilda rookie Jack Sinclair has been rewarded for his impressive start to the season with a new two-year deal.

Sinclair has made an immediate impact in his debut season, playing the first 10 games and kicking 11 goals to be ranked third at the club.

He was forced back to the rookie list after round 10 and will now only be eligible to play in the seniors if the Saints suffer a long-term injury.

"I'm thrilled to be given a two-year extension. There is a great vibe around the club – it is a very young group and it is an exciting time to be around," Sinclair said.

"The Saints are in my blood and have been part of my family for generations. There really is nowhere else I would want to be."

Jack Sinclair has committed to St Kilda after signing a two-year contract extension.

The 20-year-old will be elevated to the Saints senior list for at least the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

“Jack has shown an immediate ability to play consistently at AFL level, so we are delighted that he can be rewarded with a two-year contract extension,” St Kilda Chief Operating Officer Ameet Bains said.

“The fact he will be properly elevated to the primary list at the end of the season is well-deserved for Jack and highly pleasing for the club.”

After playing every game for the Saints this season, Jack Sinclair is headed back to rookie status with Seb Ross to return from a hamstring injury in the VFL.

"Jack has been terrific for us. He's really made an impact, and has been a real find for the first half of the year," St Kilda football manager Jamie Cox said.

"But rules are rules, and he was promoted onto the full list for Seb.

"Truth be known, he's played more footy than he would have expected himself to have at this stage of the season. I reckon he'll be pleased with what he's done but also understanding that now he's just got to bide his time."

Jack Sinclair makes his AFL debut for St Kilda at Docklands Stadium with 8 disposals (4 kicks and 4 handballs) and 4 marks in a 9-point loss to GWS.
