COLLINGWOOD skipper Nick Maxwell has signed a two-year contract extension which will see him remain with the Magpies until at least the end of the 2011 season.
Maxwell, who has been suspended for the past two matches, said he was looking forward to playing against North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium on Friday night.
"Obviously the last couple of weeks off were tough for me," Maxwell said.
"Being captain it's hard sitting on the sidelines, particularly when it's your own fault so I am looking forward to getting out there again on Friday night - it can't come quick enough."
Maxwell also admitted he suffered while watching Saturday's heartbreaking Anzac Day loss to Essendon from the coach's box.
"It's pretty tough being on the sidelines watching what is going and watching your team-mates try to slug it out - you just want to be out there as much as you possibly can," he said.
Maxwell said the club had put the five-point loss to the Bombers - which was described by Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse as the most disappointing home-and-away defeat of his career - behind them.
"We have only got a six-day break so we can't afford to worry about it," he said.
"We have put it behind us quickly and we are already looking forward to this week."
