Sam Durham Biography

Sam Durham re-signs with the Bombers through the end of 2032.

"If you're trying to put together a prototypical modern day AFL midfielder, it would look something like Sam Durham. He's got a great combination of [being] big, strong and super quick, with a great mix of speed and endurance as well. Great overhead, good at ground level. He's a fairly complete player," Bombers coach Brad Scott said.

"But a lot's been asked of him over the last year or two. I think the biggest improvement for him personally will come from the players that are around him. Getting Parish and Caldwell back will have a big boost for Sam."

Sam Durham has signs a new four-year contract extension to remain at Essendon until the end of 2028.

"To sign for four years and be alongside guys like Zach, Darcy, Mason Redman and those guys who are going to be here for a long time is awesome. Building a solid foundation and playing consistent footy with those guys will be great as well," Durham said.
