Contract
The eight-year extension locks him up until 2032 and makes him the longest-tenured player in the AFL, surpassing Nick Blakey who is locked up until 2031. Naughton will turn 24 in November and has one more season on his current deal in 2024 for approximately $800,000.
Dad
His father is a seasoned veteran at the top of the hill, having camped there with friends for about 30 races according to his son.
But for Naughton the experience was an eye-opener, a far cry from the formality that surrounds a club’s best and fairest award these days.
Salary
In-demand Dawgs pair Tim English and Aaron Naughton’s next contract could be worth more than $1 million per season as a result of the new AFL Collective Bargaining Agreement, according to Herald Sun reporter John Ralph.
Parents
Aaron Naughton’s parents are not known.
Partner
A Bulldogs star pair are set for a healthy pay day as rival clubs circle.
As well as an enthusiastic young Hawk considering his future, West Coast are in a good position to land him if he requests a move.
