Brisbane's triple premiership player Simon Black has agreed to a new one-year contract with the Lions.
Black's future had been under a degree of doubt but the opportunity to play a role in the development of the Lions' youthful roster appealed to the 33-year-old.
"It's fantastic to extend my career another year at the club and I'm excited and thrilled to be a part of the playing group going forward into next year," Black said in a statement.
"We're under no illusions as to how much further we've got to improve, but there's some good signs there and the group is really tight, united, and there's some really strong mateship."
Black was an integral part of the Lions' three straight premierships from 2001 to 2003 and he also collected individual accolades such as the Brownlow Medal (2002) and Norm Smith Medal (2003).
He ended 2012 with 314 senior appearances under his belt, 19 shy of the club's all-time record held by Kevin Murray (Fitzroy).
He only needs five matches next season to move past former team-mate Marcus Ashcroft's record of 318 appearances for the post-merger club.
