Mitch McGovern Signs One-Year Contract Extension with Carlton

Mitch McGovern, a veteran player for Carlton, has signed a one-year contract extension to continue his career at IKON Park.

After being repositioned to the forward line for the 2026 season, McGovern has excelled, scoring 33 goals this season, surpassing his previous personal best of 32 goals set in 2016. This performance comes as the team adapts to the absence of Charlie Curnow and navigates various injuries.

McGovern recently celebrated his 150th AFL game during Gather Round. Footy boss Chris Davies praised McGovern's adaptability and consistent performance, highlighting his contributions both on and off the field as vital to the team's future.
