Hawthorn forward Mitch Lewis has signed a fresh multi-year deal with the club. The move puts an end to interest from the Gold Coast Suns, who were planning a play for their forward in free agency. A Hawthorn teammate was also re-signed as well, though details around the King’s future was shared. The announcement follows a stretch of widespread speculation about where King lands. The news network originally carried the story on the two-year deal for Lewis. The Hawks reinforce their list while the Suns regroup after a near miss.
