Logan Morris will stay a Brisbane Lion until the end of 2029 after signing a two-year contract extension.

The club confirmed the deal on September 15, 2026. Morris is 21. The new deal adds two years to a contract that already ran through next season. ABC News

It is a big signature for Brisbane. Morris kicked 67 goals in the 2026 home-and-away season, which is the part of the year where all 18 teams play for ladder positions before finals. He finished second in the Coleman Medal, the award for the season's leading goalkicker, behind Sydney's Charlie Curnow. He also earned his first All-Australian blazer, meaning selection in the league's best 22 for the year.

Before he re-signed, Morris was set to be one of the most sought-after players on the market at the end of next season. He chose Brisbane over interest from Tasmania to stay in Queensland. Adelaide Now

Brisbane has moved quickly to settle its list. Zac Bailey and Dayne Zorko also signed extensions in the same week as Morris. That gives the Lions continuity through a crucial stretch of September.

The timing matters. Brisbane was scheduled to face Hawthorn in a preliminary final at the MCG on the Saturday after the announcement. A preliminary final is the last step before the Grand Final. The winner goes through. The loser goes home.

For fans, this means certainty. Brisbane keeps a young key forward who finds space where there looks to be none. And Morris gets to chase a flag without contract talk following every set shot.
