Port Adelaide has recovered from the possible defection of star midfielder Shaun Burgoyne by re-signing five key players, including veteran Warren Tredrea.

Wingman Danyle Pearce has also joined former captain Tredrea in inking a new deal as has defender Michael Pettigrew, hard-nut Tom Logan and young ruckman Matthew Lobbe.

Tredrea, 30, will line up for his 250th career game with the Power in his second match next season, becoming the first Power player to reach that milestone in the AFL.

Despite his veteran status Power Football Operations Manager Peter Rohde says Tredrea still has plenty to offer.

"Warren is an absolute champion of our club," Rohde said.

"With his body free of injury for the first time in a few years, Warren showed everyone he still has the ability to turn a game."

Tredrea says he is thrilled to sign on for at least another year with Port Adelaide.

"I'm very excited to be going around for another year, which will be my fourteenth here at Port Adelaide," Tredrea said.

"From a personal point of view I was satisfied with my form and fitness this year and I can't wait to start pre-season and build towards 2010."

"I'm also looking forward to helping with the development our young players, who really are the core of our playing group now."

Pearce has been the subject of trade speculation in the media following a disappointing year for the Power, but the 23-year-old said staying at Port Adelaide was a pretty easy decision in the end.

"My family and I feel that remaining here at a great club like Port Adelaide will enable me to get the best out of myself and take my game to another level," he said.

"We're in a rebuilding phase at the moment and I'm excited to be apart of that as this new group strives to get the club back to playing consistent finals football."

"When I first came to the club I said I wanted to be a one-club player at Port Adelaide and if I can keep playing consistent football, one day I'll be able to look back at the end of my career and be proud that I achieved that."

Peter Rohde says the club is delighted to have re-signed Pearce.

"Danyle has faced his share of criticism this year but internally we rated his season very highly. He's a player that leads our inside 50s and score assists and he has the ability to carry the ball and dispose it very well."

Pettigrew has played 90 games since debuting in 2004 while Logan has played 54 games, 51 of those with the Power since being recruited from Brisbane in 2006.

Lobbe, 20, is yet to debut but looms as a long-term ruck option for the Power, after being recruited with pick 16 in the National Draft at the end of 2007.
