Fremantle defender Michael Johnson has re-signed with the Dockers for a further two years, committing to the AFL club until the end of 2011.

Johnson, who turns 24 later this month, has established himself as one of the Dockers' most important players in his 74 games with the club.

He has been used as an effective rebounding player in defence and also as a pinch-hitting ruckman.

"I really believe in the direction that the Fremantle Football Club is going and I think we have a terrific bunch of guys who are determined to achieve something together," Johnson said.

"I was happy to commit to the club and wrapped (sic) that the club wanted me to sign on until 2011 as well."
