In a major boost for the Collingwood Football Club, star forward Jamie Elliott has officially signed a two-year contract extension, reaffirming his loyalty and long-term commitment to the club. The new deal, reportedly worth $150,000, will see Elliott remain in the black and white until the end of the 2027 AFL season.
Elliott, a fan-favourite and one of Collingwood’s most electrifying players, has been a key figure in the club’s forward line since making his debut in 2012. Known for his clutch performances, aerial ability, and composure under pressure, Elliott’s re-signing is a significant win for the Magpies as they look to build on recent success and maintain a strong core group moving forward.
Speaking on the extension, Elliott expressed gratitude for the continued support from the club and its passionate fan base.
> “Collingwood has been my home for over a decade, and I’m proud to continue representing the club,” Elliott said. “The bond I share with my teammates, the coaching staff, and the supporters means a lot to me. I’m excited about the direction we’re heading in, and I want to be a part of the journey ahead.”
Elliott’s career has seen its fair share of highs and challenges. Plagued by injuries in the early years, his resilience and determination to return stronger each time has only deepened his standing within the club. Since overcoming those setbacks, he has consistently delivered match-winning performances and remains one of the league’s most dependable forwards in high-pressure moments.
Collingwood’s list manager, Graham Wright, hailed the re-signing as a major statement of intent.
> “Jamie is not only a dynamic player on the field, but he also brings great leadership and professionalism off it,” Wright said. “His presence in the forward line gives us versatility, and his ability to perform in big games is invaluable. Keeping someone of Jamie’s calibre at the club is crucial as we continue to strive for premiership success.”
The announcement comes at a pivotal time for Collingwood, who are looking to cement their position among the league’s elite clubs over the coming seasons. Elliott’s extension ensures the team retains one of its most experienced and composed players during a phase of sustained growth and ambition.
Fans took to social media to celebrate the news, with many expressing relief and excitement over Elliott’s decision to stay. His memorable performances — including his unforgettable after-the-siren goal against Essendon in 2022 — have etched his name into club folklore, making him a beloved figure among the Magpie faithful.
As the 2025 AFL season progresses, Elliott’s continued presence in the squad is expected to play a crucial role in Collingwood’s finals push. With his future now secured, both the player and the club can focus squarely on the challenges ahead.
