Collingwood has emphatically declared its faith in one of footyโs most electrifying small men. Star forward Jamie Elliott has committed his future to the Magpies, signing a two-year contract extension that will see him don the black-and-white jumper until the end of 2027 .
“This Club Is Home”
In a heartfelt statement, Elliott described the club as โmore than just a football teamโitโs family.โ He spoke candidly about the journey that has shaped him, from thrilling highs to serious setbacks, including recurring injuries and a frightening vascular issue in 2024 that threatened his seasonโand even his toes .
โCollingwood has stood by me through it allโinjuries, challenges, personal growth,โ he said. โIโve got plenty of good footy leftโand Iโm not done yet.โ
His words underscore not just loyalty, but an emotional bond with the club and its passionate Magpie Army, promising grit and determination in every contest .
A Legacy Forged in Adversity
A product of the Murray Bushrangers, Elliott debuted in Roundโฏ1, 2012. In a career marked by breathtaking athleticism and clutch performances, he has thrilled supporters with โhigh-flying marksโ and match-winning goalsโmost notably the unforgettable after-the-siren winner against Essendon in 2022 .
Despite a lengthy injury historyโfrom hamstring and back issues in 2016 and 2018 to shoulder, ankle, and leg setbacksโElliott has consistently returned stronger. After battling a rare vascular problem last season, he rebounded to deliver career-best form in 2025, averaging over 2.6 goals per game .
In Roundโฏ6 of 2025, he played his 200th AFL game, and shortly after surpassed 300 career goals, cementing his place among Collingwoodโs most dynamic small forwards .
Leadership, Experience & Culture
Collingwoodโs Football GM Graham Wright praised Elliott as an โirreplaceable part of the culture,โ highlighting his professionalism, influence on emerging players, and flair for performing under high pressure .
Coach Craig McRae echoed those sentiments, emphasizing Elliottโs work ethic, mentoring of younger teammates, and important role in maintaining continuity and intensity in the forward line .
A Strategic Recommitment
This re-signing is more than symbolic. As Collingwood reshapes its list ahead of another tilt at the premiership, retaining Elliott offers both firepower and leadership. His presence ensures the continuity of senior guidance alongside emerging talents in the forward line .
At 32, Elliott remains one of Collingwoodโs most potent goal threats. His dynamic performances (28 goals in the first 11 games of 2025), coupled with his psychological edge in tight games, make him indispensable .
#UnfinishedBusiness
Elliott’s signature through 2027 sends a resounding message: Collingwood is building momentum with passion, experience, and a hunger for sustained success. With โunfinished businessโ etched in his words, Elliottโs recommitment ignites renewed optimismโboth within the club and across the Magpie Army.
Bottom line: Jamie Elliottโs extension is a masterstrokeโretaining a fan-favorite, a proven match-winner, and an experienced leader who remains both dynamic and driven well into his 30s. Collingwood fans can celebrate: โthe fightโ is far from over.
