In-demand midfielder Chad Warner has committed to the Sydney Swans on a fresh two-year deal.

The new contract will take him to the free agency window at the end of 2027.

The explosive onballer turned down significant offers from West Coast and Fremantle to remain at the Swans.

7NEWS football reporter Ryan Daniels said Warner “seriously considered” returning home to Western Australia.

“But his relationship with Dean Cox sealed the deal and extended his time at the Swans,” Daniels said.

The new contract is set to make the 23-year-old one of the best paid players in the competition.

The contract is reportedly worth between $2.7-2.8 million over the next two seasons.

“I’ve always said the whole time, I was pretty 50-50,” Warner said on Thursday.

“When we went back, played Freo, and I had about a week there in Perth — when I came back here, that was the moment.

“Like anyone going through this process, they’d always have that pull (to go home).

“There was a big part of me that did want to go back.

“But then, I think the part of me that wanted to stay here was even bigger.

“That overweighed in the end, and I’m very excited and happy about my decision.”

Cox had always expressed quiet confidence that Warner would reject the WA offers.

“For me, I want to make sure, first of all, that Chad plays his best footy for this football club, and he enjoys his time whilst he’s here,” Cox said last month.

“Hopefully that is for longer ... you want to keep your best players and Chad’s one of those.

“He is passionate, he loves his time at the footy club and he loves playing with his teammates.”
