BREAKING NEWS: Jamie Elliott Officially Announces Contract Extension with Collingwood
Earlier today, Jamie Elliott, one of Collingwood Football Club’s most electrifying forwards, made an official announcement that he has signed a new two-year contract extension with the club. This news comes as a major boost to the Magpies’ lineup, with Elliott pledging his commitment to the black and white until the end of the 2027 AFL season.
The 31-year-old star made the announcement during a press conference held at the AIA Centre, surrounded by teammates, coaching staff, and club executives. “I’m incredibly grateful to continue my journey with this amazing club,” Elliott stated. “Collingwood has been my home for over a decade, and I couldn’t see myself playing anywhere else.”
Elliott, who has played 197 games and kicked over 250 goals since debuting in 2012, is widely respected not only for his athleticism and clutch performances but also for his resilience in overcoming multiple injury setbacks throughout his career. His story is one of perseverance, earning him admiration among fans, players, and AFL pundits alike.
Collingwood coach Craig McRae praised Elliott’s influence both on and off the field. “Jamie is a true professional. His work ethic, leadership, and ability to perform in big moments make him one of the most valuable players in the league. This extension is not only well-deserved but vital for our club’s future.”
Club CEO Craig Kelly also addressed the media, adding that Elliott’s re-signing is a strategic move as Collingwood looks to build a sustainable premiership window. “Jamie represents the values we stand for: loyalty, toughness, and humility. Securing him for two more years ensures we maintain the stability and experience we need.”
Fans reacted with joy across social media, with hashtags like #StaySideBySide and #JamieElliott trending within minutes of the announcement. One supporter posted: “He’s not just a player, he’s part of the Magpie heart. This is the best news of the season!” Another wrote, “Clutch king stays home! Go Pies!”
Elliott’s extension follows recent moves by the club to lock in key talents and retain its core group after a strong 2023 premiership campaign. With key names like Nick Daicos, Darcy Moore, and Jordan De Goey also committed, the Magpies look poised for sustained success in the coming years.
Elliott concluded his remarks by emphasizing his hunger for more success: “Winning a flag in 2023 was special, but I’m not done. We’ve got more to achieve, and I want to be part of that journey.”
As Collingwood prepares for a crucial second half of the 2025 AFL season, the news of Elliott’s extension brings renewed confidence and unity to the club and its supporters. Jamie Elliott isn’t going anywhere—and the Magpie Army couldn’t be happier.
