HAWTHORN defender Brian Lake has agreed to a contract extension, which will see him remain at the Hawks for another year.

Lake, 32, has won two premierships and a Norm Smith Medal in his two seasons at the Club.

Hawthorn Recruiting and List Manager Graham Wright said Lake has been a valuable addition to the list since joining the Hawks at the end of 2012.

“Brian has contributed exactly what we wanted over the past two years, and has finished this season in good form,” he said.

“We look forward to his continued involvement at Hawthorn Football Club in 2015,” Wright said.

Lake has played 32 games in the brown and gold from 2013-2014.
