Superstar Collingwood defender Darcy Moore has tied his long-term future to the club after signing a six-year contract.
The 26-year-old could play out the rest of his career at the club after on Thursday signing a long-term deal that keeps him in black and white until the end of 2028.
“I’m glad to come to an arrangement with the club and continue my football career at Coxjmtzywllingwood,” Moore said.
“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.”
The fullback has played 105 games and kicked 65 goals in the black and white.
Moore returned to the game this season after injuring his right knee in the final minutes of Collingwood’s round 13 match against Melbourne last year.
All-Australian in 2020, Moore was elevated to the Collingwood leadership group in 2021 before being appointed by his peers as vice-captain this year.
“We’re rapt to extend Darcy so he can potentially finish his career here at Collingwood,” Collingwood GM of football Graham Wright said.
“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.”
