Fremantle goalsneak Chris Mayne has committed to the AFL club until the end of 2011 after signing a one-year extension to his current deal.

Mayne, snared at a bargain pick of No.40 at the 2007 national draft, managed just five games last season after his campaign was delayed due to a serious Achilles tendon injury.

But the 21-year-old has shown plenty of promise in his 22 AFL games to date and will form a key part of Fremantle's new look forward set up this season, along with fellow small forward Hayden Ballantyne, captain Matthew Pavlich and veteran Des Headland.

"Chris is an exciting talent and we are delighted that he has committed to the club through to the end of the 2011 season," Fremantle player manager Brad Lloyd said.
