Hawthorn key target has committed to a multi-year contract extension with the club. The move puts an end to interest from the Gold Coast Suns, who were planning a play for their forward in free agency. A Hawthorn teammate has been tied down as well, though details around the King’s future was shared. The announcement arrives on the back of constant speculation about where King lands. The news network originally carried the story on the two-year deal for Lewis. The Hawks reinforce their list while Gold Coast’s plans hang in the balance.
