In a major boost for the Collingwood Football Club, star forward Jamie Elliott has committed his future to the Magpies by signing a new two-year contract extension. The deal, reportedly worth $1.5 million, will keep Elliott at the club through the end of the 2027 AFL season.
Elliott, a fan favourite and key member of Collingwood’s forward line, has once again demonstrated his loyalty to the black and white, despite strong interest from rival clubs. In a statement released by the club, the 31-year-old described his decision as a matter of heart over dollars.
“I’ve always said Collingwood is home,” Elliott said. “This club has stuck by me through some of the toughest times in my career, and I’ve never forgotten that. I love the boys, I love our supporters, and I love what we’re building here. There was never any real doubt in my mind.”
Elliott has been a central figure at Collingwood since making his debut in 2012. Known for his explosive athleticism, clutch goal kicking, and high-flying marks, he has overcome numerous injury setbacks to remain one of the most dynamic forwards in the AFL. His loyalty and perseverance have made him one of the most respected figures in the game.
The deal comes at a crucial time for Collingwood, as the club looks to maintain the core group that helped deliver the 2023 Premiership. Elliott played a vital role in that premiership campaign, contributing both on the scoreboard and as a leader in the locker room.
Collingwood Football Manager Graham Wright praised Elliott’s commitment, calling him a “true Collingwood person” and a vital part of the team’s culture.
“Jamie’s decision to re-sign speaks volumes about his character and what this club means to him,” Wright said. “He’s a match-winner, a leader, and someone the younger players really look up to. We’re thrilled to have him continue with us.”
Elliott’s decision to stay comes amid speculation that several clubs were preparing lucrative offers to lure him away from the Magpies. However, sources close to the player said he never seriously entertained leaving, instead focusing on helping Collingwood chase back-to-back flags.
With 205 games and over 250 goals to his name, Elliott is poised to become one of Collingwood’s most enduring modern players. His signature ensures that the Magpies retain a potent forward line as they continue to develop emerging stars and remain a powerhouse in the league.
Fans have reacted with excitement on social media, with many praising Elliott’s loyalty and calling him a “Magpie for life.”
As the 2025 season heats up, Elliott’s recommitment to Collingwood signals a clear intent from the reigning premiers: they’re not going anywhere. And with one of their most explosive weapons locked in for two more years, few would bet against them making another deep September run.
