Zach Merrett’s contract sweetened as Bombers fend off possible rival raids​

After a reported heavy push from rivals to lure Zach Merrett out of Essendon, the Bombers have moved swiftly to ensure their captain won’t be going anywhere soon.

Essendon has sweetened the contract of superstar captain Zach Merrett to help safeguard the gun midfielder from another poaching raid.

The Herald Sun can reveal the Bombers have bolstered the jet midfielder’s deal over summer as a reward for his continued on-field excellence and loyalty.

Without knowing the details of the pay bump and incentives added, it's a very smart move.

 

[Old Campaigner]

It’s not like there’s many other players who justify a pay bump to ensure we reach the salary floor

 

[Bunk Moreland]

He deserves it and more.

He’s our only elite player and we’re lucky to have him.

Was always gonna happen after his agents put the squeeze on the club for all to see at trade period.
