PORT Adelaide coach Kenny Hinkley's bid to lock away his key players has reached another level after vice-captain Brad Ebert's contract was extended by three years.
It will keep Ebert at Alberton until at least the end of 2017, three years beyond his previous contract which would run out at the end of 2014.
Ebert is the fourth contract extension this week after Jay Schulz, Jake Neade and Hamish Hartlett all agreed to longer deals to be part of the revival under Hinkley.
The final signing this week is expected to be captain Travis Boak.
Hinkley has sent a clear message with the signings, having identified those who he consider crucial for the club's next tilt at a premiership.
He identified two players during his first pre-season at the club last summer, after he took over from Matthew Primus: Boak and Ebert.
The pair had stood out with their training and leadership and were duly assigned the roles of captain and vice-captain.
Ebert, 23, returned to his junior club Port in 2012 after beginning his AFL career with four seasons at West Coast.
