“I’ve enjoyed my time here at the footy club … and enjoyed my time with the players,” Cameron said. 

“I’m looking to win a premiership. It’s a young group coming through.” 

Cameron has just turned 26 and is in the prime of his career.

After spending four seasons with Adelaide, the Mt Isa product has proved a sensation since coming to the Gabba, kicking 89 goals in 43 games before Friday night’s match against Essendon.
