Senior Coach Jarrad Wright is confident Rose will again be the best person to continue to lead the playing group and club.
"Matt has been a great leader both on and off the field for many years now, and is the embodiment of our key beliefs and trademarks within the club"
"He drives the standards expected of those who represent the South Adelaide Football Club."
"We are really fortunate to have a strong group of leaders at our club, and none more so than Matt."
