In a major announcement that has thrilled fans and silenced speculation, Jamie Elliott has reaffirmed his commitment to the Collingwood Football Club by signing a fresh three-year contract extension, keeping him in the black and white until at least the end of the 2028 AFL season.
The new deal, reportedly worth $180,000 per season, signals not just a financial agreement, but a deep sense of loyalty and belief in the club’s vision. Elliott, 33, has been an integral part of Collingwood’s forward line for over a decade, renowned for his high-flying marks, goal sense, and clutch performances under pressure.
“Collingwood has always been home,” Elliott said in a club statement. “I’ve grown here as a player and as a person, and I truly believe the best is still ahead of us.”
The contract extension comes amid growing speculation that other clubs had shown interest in acquiring the veteran forward as a free agent. However, Elliott’s decision to remain at the Holden Centre underscores his desire to finish his career as a one-club player — a rare feat in the modern AFL era.
Collingwood GM of Football, Graham Wright, praised Elliott’s ongoing influence on and off the field.
“Jamie is more than just a footballer — he’s a leader, a mentor, and a symbol of resilience. His journey, through injuries and comebacks, is a testament to his character and his love for this club.”
Since debuting in 2012, Elliott has played over 200 games and kicked more than 300 goals for the Magpies. Known affectionately as “Billy” among fans and teammates, he has become a fan favourite for his flair, loyalty, and passion.
With this new deal in place, Elliott joins a growing list of senior players recommitting to Collingwood’s long-term plans, as the club aims to build on its recent finals campaigns and push for another premiership in the coming years.
For the Magpie Army, this is more than a contract — it’s a declaration: Jamie Elliott is Collingwood, through and through.
