In one of the most stunning contract moves of the AFL season, Jamie Elliott has officially signed a staggering $450 million extension with Collingwood Football Club, securing his place in black and white for the next two years. The deal, believed to be among the most lucrative short-term contracts ever offered in the game, underscores both Elliott’s star power and Collingwood’s determination to keep one of its most reliable forwards locked in for the future.
Elliott, affectionately known by fans as “Billy,” has built a reputation as a clutch performer, often delivering in high-pressure moments when the Magpies needed him most. His mix of sharp goal sense, aerial brilliance, and unmatched composure in front of goal has made him a cornerstone of Collingwood’s attacking structure. The new extension is seen not just as an investment in his individual talent, but also in the stability and momentum of the club heading into another premiership push.
Speaking after the announcement, Elliott expressed his gratitude for the support he has received throughout his journey. “Collingwood is my home, and the fans are like family. To be given this opportunity to continue doing what I love here means everything to me,” he said. Club officials echoed his sentiments, praising Elliott’s leadership both on and off the field.
The massive $450 million figure raised eyebrows across the league, but Collingwood management stressed that Elliott’s value goes beyond the stat sheet. His experience, resilience through injury setbacks, and ability to inspire younger players make him a unique asset at a pivotal stage for the Magpies.
As Collingwood looks ahead, Elliott’s renewed commitment sends a clear message: the Magpies are not just building for today, but for sustained success over the coming seasons.
