Triple-premiership winger Isaac Smith has signed a contract extension that ties him to Hawthorn until the end of the 2020 AFL season.
The 27-year-old, who has played 135 games for the Hawks, effectively turned his back on any free agency opportunities in agreeing to the deal.
"It was a pretty easy process ... I think it only took two or three weeks, so it all happened pretty quickly and it was pretty smooth," Smith said of contract negotiations.
"It's nice to know that the Hawthorn Football Club want me around.
"I'm very excited about the prospect of the next four years because we've got a great young list here.
