Collingwood has announced the re-signing of star defender Darcy Moore.
Moore, a free agent this year, has recommitted to the Magpies, inking a six-year contract extension, which ties him to the club until at least the end of 2028.
“I’m glad to come to an arrangement with the club and continue my football career at Collingwood,” Moore told Collingwood’s website.
“With a new coaching group and young squad, we are creating strong foundations for the future – this is exciting to be a part of.”
“I understand my role as a leader of this program, and I’m pleased to continue this work for many years to come.”
Moore has accepted less to stay at Collingwood. The defender had attracted enormous interest from rival clubs who were prepared to offer more $$. Recently turned 26, these are his golden years.

Collingwood GM of Football Graham Wright added: “We’re rapt to extend Darcy so he can potentially finish his career here at Collingwood.
“Darcy is already a vice captain of the club and I’m sure he has aspirations to captain the club down the track.
“All-Australian key defenders, 200cm plus of his calibre are hard to find. We respected the fact he was a free agent at the end of this year, and he would take some time to make his decision.
“We are pleased to come to terms that should see Darcy play out his career at Collingwood.”
Moore, 26, has played 105 games since debuting for Collingwood in 2015.
