Breaking: Darcy Moore Inks Four-Year, $4.3M Deal with…
In a major win for the Collingwood Football Club, captain Darcy Moore has officially signed a four-year contract extension worth a stunning $4.3 million. The deal, which locks him in until the end of the 2028 AFL season, cements Moore’s status as one of the premier defenders in the league and a cornerstone of Collingwood’s future.
Since debuting in 2016, Moore has established himself as a consistent force in the Magpies’ backline. Known for his athleticism, composure, and elite intercept marking, the 28-year-old has grown into a respected leader on and off the field. Appointed captain in 2023, Moore led the team to a Grand Final appearance, earning praise for his calm leadership under pressure.
The club has described the deal as a “statement of intent,” reflecting their commitment to retaining top-tier talent and building a long-term premiership-contending side. Club CEO Mark Anderson said, “Darcy represents everything we value at Collingwood — resilience, professionalism, and a team-first mindset. We’re thrilled he’ll be with us for years to come.”
Moore’s new deal averages over $1 million per season, placing him among the AFL’s highest earners. However, many in the footy world argue he’s worth every cent. With continued improvement and a strong team culture under coach Craig McRae, Moore’s leadership could be the key to delivering another flag to the Magpies’ storied history.
For Collingwood fans, this is more than just a contract extension — it’s a promise that the heart of their defence and the spirit of their club remains firmly in black and white.
