Taylor Walker, Shaun McKernan and Brent Reilly have agreed to contract extensions with the Adelaide Crows.

Walker, 21, was originally signed by the Crows from Broken Hill as a New South Wales Scholarship player in 2006. He was an All-Australian under 18 the following year - when he also played in North Broken Hill’s senior premiership side - and then moved to Adelaide before the 2008 season. He made his AFL debut in the opening round of the 2009 season and has now played 43 AFL games and kicked 87 goals.

McKernan, who turns 21 next Thursday, was drafted by the Crows at the end of 2008. He made his AFL debut midway through the 2009 season but broke his arm at training the following week and did not break back into the Crows side until this year. He has now played 15 AFL games.

Reilly, 27, has now been at the Crows for a decade, having been drafted from Victoria in 2001. He has played 154 AFL games.

Crows football operations general manager Phil Harper said: “We are very keen to keep this group together and all three of these players are extremely important players in our team.”
