Essendon’s breakout star Darcy Parish has pledged his future to the club in a huge show of faith about the Bombers’ direction under Ben Rutten.
Only moments after the club’s victory over West Coast pushed them into the eight for a day, Parish made clear he wasn’t going anywhere.
Parish had been keen to assess if he was to be handed more midfield time before he signed, with clubs including Geelong circling the Winchelsea junior star.
Parish has averaged 35 disposals, nine clearances and 8.5 score involvements in the past six weeks, handed more responsibility when Dylan Shiel was injured.
