West Coast defender Reuben Ginbey has been rewarded for his outstanding start to the season, signing a contract extension that will keep him at the club until the end of 2030.
The new agreement adds a further three years to the 21 year-old’s existing deal, with an official announcement expected as early as today.
The East Perth product is widely regarded to be in All-Australian contention at the halfway point of this campaign, having successfully curtailed some of the competition’s most dangerous key forwards while regularly giving away height to his opponents.
Ginbey has played 75 games since being selected at pick nine in the 2022 National Draft and finished runner-up in West Coast’s best and fairest last season.

Good morning readers, and welcome to our live news blog for Wednesday, June 3.
Making headlines is news from Nauru, where a man who spent two decades in jail for killing his wife before putting her body into a wheelie bin filled with acid has gone on hunger strike at a detention centre in protest after being deported from Western Australia last month.
Tony Kellisar, 64, is on day six of his hunger strike, claiming he has been unable to leave his room in what he describes is a “hellhole prison camp” after being transferred there from WA’s Yongah Hill Detention Centre.
Iranian-born Kellisar was transferred to immigration detention in 2019 after serving 20 years for the murder of Svetlana Podgoyetsky, who he strangled in Melbourne in 1997 before driving her body to Sydney.
