Matt Burton will remain a Bulldog after signing a five-year deal to stay at Belmore.Burton enjoyed a breakout year in 2022, which included earning his first Blues jersey, capping a successful debut season with the club following a move from Penrith."I'm grateful to be a part of this club," Burton said in a statement released by the club."We've got the new coach (Cameron Ciraldo) in now and I'm really excited to work with him again. He's a great coach and I'm looking forward to taking my game to the next level with his guidance."We've got new players in and from my teammates, all the staff, our members and fans, I couldn't picture myself anywhere else. The club is on the up and I'm keen to be a part of this next chapter for the Bulldogs."Burton's long-term commitment is a massive boost to the Bulldogs, who are hoping the likes of he, Josh Addo-Carr and the incoming Viliame Kikau can transform the club's on-field fortunes in the coming years."As a club, we have been building towards a vision of success and stability, and the long-term signing of someone as talented as Matt reinforces the direction that we are headed in," Bulldogs chairman John Khoury said in a statement."We believe that we have been taking huge strides forward as a club and this multi-year agreement with Matt means that he will remain to be a big part of the Bulldog's future," club CEO Aaron Warburton added.
