COLLINGWOOD has further strengthened its future with the re-signing of five key players.
Midfielder Dane Swan has extended his current contract until the end of 2010, while impressive young defenders Nathan Brown and Harry O'Brien have signed three year deals which will see them remain at the club until the end of the 2011 season.
Defender Tyson Goldsack and 19-year-old forward Ben Reid have committed to the club until the end of 2010 with two-year deals.
Collingwood chief of football Geoff Walsh said the club was delighted to re-sign five quality young players who will underpin the club's future.
“It's great to have those five boys re-commit to the club, and for us to make a commitment to them, because they're all players of considerable talent and promise," Walsh told collingwoodfc.com.au
“All are at the beginning of their careers, bar Dane, who has made some great inroads in the last two or three years in particular, to become one of our premier midfielders.''
"Nathan, Ben and Tyson have all, at different times, made a mark in senior footy in their first 18 months, so that augers well for us as a club, as we know we’ve got some young talent at our disposal."
"Harry’s probably 12-18 months ahead of those three boys, in terms of making a spot in the seniors his own."
"It does give us some confidence that we’ve got some good young players underpinning our future."
