 In a moment that has sent waves of excitement through the Collingwood Football Club and the broader AFL community, head coach Craig McRae has made a major announcement concerning club captain Darcy Moore—one that fans are hailing as the best news they could hope for.

At a press conference held at the AIA Centre this morning, McRae officially confirmed that Darcy Moore has re-signed with the Magpies on a long-term deal, committing his future to the club well beyond the 2025 season. The announcement comes at a critical time for Collingwood, as the team continues to build towards sustained premiership contention.

“This is the best news we could hope for,” said McRae, visibly thrilled as he addressed media and supporters. “Darcy is not just an exceptional footballer—he’s an incredible leader, role model, and embodiment of what it means to wear the black and white. Securing his future at the club is a massive win for us all.”

Moore, 29, has become one of the most respected figures in the league, known for his athleticism, poise under pressure, and inspirational leadership both on and off the field. Since taking over the captaincy in 2023, Moore has led the team with distinction, helping guide the Magpies to back-to-back finals campaigns.

Speaking on the extension, Moore expressed deep gratitude and excitement for what lies ahead.

> “I couldn’t be prouder to continue my journey with this incredible club,” Moore said. “Collingwood means everything to me—it’s my home. We’ve built something really special here under Fly [McRae], and I’m committed to doing everything I can to bring more success to this club and our loyal fans.”

The length and terms of the contract have not been disclosed, but sources indicate it is a multi-year extension that will see Moore remain a Magpie until at least the end of the decade.

Fans have taken to social media in droves, celebrating the announcement and praising both Moore and McRae for their commitment to the club’s vision.

With Moore’s future now secured, Collingwood’s leadership group and coaching staff can continue focusing on the remainder of the season, with hopes of a deep September run firmly alive.

One thing is certain: with Darcy Moore locked in, the future at Collingwood looks as promising as ever.
