PREMIERSHIP hero Ryan Schoenmakers has reaffirmed his commitment to Hawthorn, signing a new two-year deal.

Schoenmakers, who came out of contract at the end of 2015, will now be tied to the Hawks until the end of 2017.

The 24-year-old swingman had reported attracted interest from a number of other clubs after his outstanding 2015 finals series, but has elected to remain a Hawk.

Schoenmakers’ re-signing was announced at the club's  Peter Crimmins Medal on Saturday night.

Hawthorn’s Recruiting and List Manager Graham Wright said Schoenmakers would be an important part of the club’s future.

“We're delighted that Ryan has re-committed to the club for at least the next 2 years,” Wright said. 

“His form over the 2015 season was ultra consistent and culminated in a fantastic finals series, helping the club secure its 13th flag and his first.”

Recruited with the Hawks’ first pick, number 16, in the 2008 AFL Draft, the versatile tall has played 95 career matches.

He played 16 matches in 2015, spending time at both ends of the ground, and finishing with 15 goals.

Schoenmakers was not selected for the Hawks’ qualifying final loss to the West Coast Eagles, but returned to play an important role in the Hawks’ three finals triumphs.

He produced arguably his best career performance in the grand final, collecting 21 disposals, nine marks and a goal in the Hawks’ third consecutive premiership victory.
