Sydney vice-captain Dane Rampe looks set to play out his AFL career with the Swans after signing a three-year deal.

The reliable 28-year-old key defender was already contracted for next year, with the extension tying him to the club until the end of the 2022 season.

Sydney-born Rampe played in the local competition before joining the Swans as a rookie at the end of 2012.

He has gone on to play 138 senior games in the past six seasons, establishing himself as a pivotal member of the Swans' backline.

He achieved All-Australian representation in 2016, playing in losing Sydney grand final teams that year and in 2014.
