There’ll be no WA return for Bobby Hill anytime soon, with the Collingwood grand final hero inking a four-year contract extension that will keep him at the club that “feels like home” until the end of 2030.

The Northam and Wesley College product had been contracted for next season, but put pen to paper on a fresh deal that sees him remain in black and white until at least age 30.

Hill secured his place in Magpies folklore in his first year at the club after crossing from GWS, snaring the Norm Smith Medal in the 2023 premiership win.

The 25-year-old said he had instantly felt comfortable at the club as he looks to strive for more flag success.

“It feels like home here,” Hill said.

“My family loves it, especially my son - he loves it, running around like he owns the place.

“Collingwood is my future and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my career here.

“Getting the taste of premiership success in 2023, that’s what drives me to want to play more footy here at the Pies in front of our big fan base.

“From now to 2030, I’d love to achieve more premiership success but I really just want to keep playing consistent footy and making more memories to cherish for the rest of my life.”

The fresh deal has quashed any prospect of a WA return in the immediate future, with Fremantle unable to entertain the prospect of recruiting Hill to the club where his cousins Stephen and Bradley played.

Collingwood list manager Justin Leppitsch said he was thrilled to have locked in the 95-gamer.

“Since arriving at the club, Bobby has become an integral part of our forward line and continuously works to grow and develop his own game,” he said.

“At only 25, Bobby has a lot of football ahead of him, and we look forward to seeing many more magical moments that will excite our fans.”

Hill has booted 11 goals in seven games this season, second only to Jamie Elliott at the ladder-leading Pies.
