Western Bulldogs premiership star Liam Picken has re-signed with the AFL club until the end of 2019.

The 30-year-old signed the two-year deal after finishing fifth in last year's club best and fairest voting.

"I was just concentrating on footy, so when the club came to me, I was more than happy," he said.

Picken was arguably the best player during the Bulldogs' triumphant finals series and says it was a no-brainer to sign his new two-year deal.

"Hopefully we've got some exciting times coming up, so it was an easy decision," he said.
