Greater Western Sydney coach Leon Cameron is confident Zac Williams will stay at the club, despite delays in contract negotiations.

Williams’ contract will expire at the end of the year and the 25-year-old has yet to agree a new deal with the AFL club.

The academy graduate made 24 appearances in 2019, making 568 disposals and 75 tackles as the Giants reached the Grand Final.

Lachie Whitfield, Stephen Coniglio and Josh Kelly signed long-term deals with GWS in December, but the Giants have yet to tie down Williams or Jeremy Cameron, who will both be free agents next year.

However, Cameron insists Williams is happy at the club but has the right to assess his options.

“Our intent is to keep Zac for as long as we possibly can and we have got a good track record in the past few years and we’ll draw on that,” Cameron told SEN.

“Zac is really happy, but every player has that right, especially when they come out in that free agency year. Players are going to look at their options.

“Whether it takes one more or two months or three months there will always be speculation on it until they sign, but the same with Stephen Coniglio and Lachie Whitfield and others we are confident he’ll stay at our club.”

Williams was selected by the Giants with pick 55 in the 2012 NAB AFL Rookie Draft and became the Giants academy’s first player to reach 100 AFL games for the club last September.
