First-year player Charlie West has signed on to remain a Pie for a further two years.<\/p>\n
West, who was already contracted for 2026, has extended his commitment to remain in the black and white until at least the end of 2028.<\/p>\n
The recruit played an instrumental role in the VFL this year, with a standout performance against Sandringham, totalling 14 disposals and kicking six goals, including the winner after the siren.<\/p>\n
Drafted at pick 50 in the 2024 National Draft, he made his AFL debut in Round 16 with a win against the West Coast Eagles.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the young talent\u2019s season was cut short after sustaining a foot injury, sidelining him for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
General Manager of List and Talent Strategy Justin Leppitsch said the Club was excited to sign on the young talent.<\/p>\n
\u201cCharlie has been an exciting addition to our program this season, and we are delighted to see him remain at Collingwood,\u201d Leppitsch said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter a consistently strong season in the VFL, he earned his debut at AFL level and has continued to demonstrate the kind of composure and talent we value so highly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe commend Charlie for navigating his rehab with maturity and grit, and we look forward to his return to the field next season.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"News First-year player Charlie West has signed on to remain a Pie for a further two years.
