Gold Coast midfielder Dion Prestia re-signs until 2016 Gold Coast midfielder Dion Prestia has re-signed until the end of 2016. DION Prestia says he re-signed with the Suns because he was convinced they would win a premiership in the next three years. The nuggety midfielder signed a new deal today that ties him to the club until the end of 2016. Prestia held out longer than several high profile teammates and said he was backing himself to start producing consistent football before entering negotiations. He also wanted to gauge how serious the club's chances of success were. "I wanted to be in good form and that has happened and the team is in good form too I was happy to stay," he said. I definitely think we can (win a premiership), that is why all the boys have signed-on, we trust we can win a flag in the next three years. If we all keep putting in the hard work it will happen. Prestia has played 40 games for the Suns since being taken with selection number nine in the 2010 draft. His form steadily grew over the first two years but he has enjoyed a break-out season so far in 2013. On the weekend he produced a superb performance Geelong where he gathered 29 disposals but won praise for the defensive aspect of a game in which he laid 12 tackles. Clayton said the club's ability to consistently re-sign their in-demand interstate players showed the club was on the right track. "Dion's commitment demonstrates the confidence our players have in the direction of our football club and is an example of the belief they have that we are building something special on the Gold Coast," Clayton said.
