DUAL Brownlow medallist Gary Ablett has extended his contract with Gold Coast and will remain the AFL's highest paid player.

The 30-year-old was coming off contract at the end of next season, but it's understood the new deal takes the superstar midfielder through to the end of the 2018 season.

The contract extension should finally end speculation Ablett could return to Geelong to finish his career.

Currently recovering from shoulder surgery, Ablett has taken a pay cut on the original five-year deal he signed when he left Geelong, although he will still make more than $1 million per season.

Good luck to him. Respect for him has only increased since he went to GC. He is the master.

Why does this rule out a possible Geelong return?

Because he'd be like 34-35 when it finishes lol. But I think it was more to do with speculation that he was going to return after this contract
