Mitch McGovern has played 62 games for the Blues since arriving at the Club from the Crows at the end of 2018.
Having played the majority of his career as a forward (kicking 106 career goals), McGovern made the switch to the backline following the 2021 season, filling a gap alongside teammate Jacob Weitering.
McGovern slotted seamlessly into the back half, with his intercept marking and aerial work big assets of his game.
Having an interrupted 2022 due to injury, McGovern completed a full pre-season and went into 2023 firing, playing 22 games, including all three finals.
The 29-year-old welcomed baby Hamish in March, adding to the McGovern family alongside daughter Margot, and married longtime partner Kirsten in the 2023 off-season.
