Crows Bernie Vince and Andy Otten have today agreed to contract extensions with the Adelaide Football Club.

Crows general manager football operations Phil Harper said: “Both Bernie and Andy are important players for our team and enjoy being involved with our football club. Importantly, they have a strong belief in the future of this playing group.

“We’ve been in discussions with a number of players and their managers in recent weeks and we expect to have some more contract extensions in the next few weeks.”

Vince, 25, has played 85 AFL games for the Crows since 2006 after being drafted from SANFL club Woodville-West Torrens.

Otten, 22, was drafted from the Oakleigh Chargers at the end of 2007. He made his debut in 2008 and was runner-up for the Rising Star award in 2009 but missed all of the 2010 season after requiring a knee reconstruction. This season he has played 13 AFL games for a career total of 39.
