"He’s taken on some big challenges and played on some of the competition’s best forwards, and we’ve got confidence in him that he can do that," Sydney coach John Longmire said of Melican.

"He’s a terrific country boy who is a fairly quiet, respectful kid and he’s getting more confident every week with the more football he plays."

Lewis Melican signs a new three-year contract extension with Sydney that will keep him at the club until the end of 2020.

"Lewis has been on a gradual improvement curve since arriving at the Swans as a rookie three years ago," Swans head of football Tom Harley said.

"After overcoming a few injuries, he was able to put together a really solid pre-season and force his way into the senior team.

"His poise with the ball, competitive nature and overall character hold him in good stead and we are very happy that he has committed to us for the next three seasons."

"He's a terrific prospect. He's young in the draft age but is really task-focused and is a good size at 193cm and a key defender," Sydney football manager Tom Harley said.

"We really liked the way Lewis progressed this year and he's got a lot of upside going forward."
