Carlton is pleased to confirm rookies Cameron Wood and Blaine Johnson have recommitted to the Club.
Wood has signed on for a further two years, while Johnson has penned a new one-year contract.
Both men made their Carlton debuts in 2014 after being elevated from the rookie list to the senior list due to long-term injuries; Wood shouldered the ruck duties for six matches, while Johnson played five games after making his AFL debut in Round 15 against Collingwood.
Carlton’s GM – Football Operations Andrew McKay says both players have earned their opportunity.
“Cameron had a great finish to the season and played a number of senior games off the rookie list,” McKay said.

“We’re confident he will keep improving and we’re delighted he will be with us for the next two years.
“Blaine is a diligent young man who trains hard and obviously got his opportunity through long-term injuries to other players,” McKay said.
“Now that he has had a taste of senior football we’re confident he will be hungry for more and will continue to press his case for senior selection.”
