Jamie Elliott Commits to Collingwood with Four-Year Extension**
In a massive boost for the Collingwood Football Club, star forward Jamie Elliott has officially signed a new four-year contract extension, reaffirming his commitment to the black and white until the end of the 2029 AFL season. The decision puts an end to any speculation surrounding his future, with Elliott choosing loyalty and legacy over exploring free agency options.
The announcement has been met with excitement from Magpies fans, who view Elliott as more than just a player—he’s a symbol of resilience, passion, and clutch performance. Throughout his career, Elliott has become one of the most electrifying forwards in the AFL, known for his aerial ability, explosive goal sense, and big-game temperament. This new deal ensures he remains a key figure in Collingwood’s premiership window for years to come.
Elliott’s journey hasn’t always been smooth. He’s battled through serious injuries that sidelined him for entire seasons, yet each time he returned, he brought with him the same intensity and flair that made him a fan favourite. His ability to bounce back from adversity has earned him not just respect within the club, but admiration from the broader football community.
One of Elliott’s most iconic moments came during a recent season when he kicked a match-winning goal after the siren, sealing victory for Collingwood in dramatic fashion. That moment was emblematic of the type of player he is—calm under pressure, dangerous in the forward 50, and capable of producing magic when the game is on the line.
From Collingwood’s perspective, securing Elliott’s services long-term is both a strategic and emotional decision. Strategically, he remains a vital part of their forward structure. His ability to create scoring opportunities, apply pressure, and mentor younger forwards like Jack Ginnivan and Joe Richards makes him indispensable. Emotionally, Elliott represents the heart of the club—someone who bleeds black and white and has given his all through thick and thin.
With several clubs reportedly interested in luring Elliott via free agency, this extension sends a strong message to the rest of the league. Collingwood is not only determined to retain its star players but also committed to building a culture of loyalty, belief, and long-term success. It’s a major statement heading into the next phase of their premiership campaign.
For Elliott, this deal also offers stability and the chance to further cement his legacy at one of the biggest clubs in Australian sport. At 33 by the end of this extension, he’ll likely finish his career as a one-club player—a rare feat in modern AFL. It also gives him the opportunity to play a crucial role in guiding the next generation, both on and off the field.
As the Magpies look ahead to future finals campaigns, having Elliott locked in provides not only firepower up forward but also leadership, reliability, and a deep understanding of what it means to wear the Collingwood jumper.
For both player and club, this deal is more than just a contract—it’s a commitment to finishing what they
’ve started, together.
