Collingwood has made an adjustment to its squad, promoting rookie Tony Armstrong onto its senior list.



Armstrong steps into the place of Levi Greenwood, who has been added to the long-term injury list as he recovers from a fractured tibia.



It marks another milestone in Armstrong’s football journey which has spanned three clubs in three separate states.

He originally broke into the senior side late in the 2014 season, featuring in the final five matches and earning praise for his resilience, which was highlighted after he managed to play in both the VFL and the AFL teams on the same day.



“Tony’s work in the pre-season was always very good. He’s got a very good feel and understanding for the game and how it’s played,” Director of Football Neil Balme told Collingwood Media.



“If we remember he played very good footy towards the end of last year in this role as a defender.



“He has worked very hard and has played very well at VFL level so he has earned his chance.”



Armstrong arrived at the Westpac Centre at the end of the 2013 season after 15 games with Sydney.



He has previously played 14 games for Adelaide, to whom he was originally drafted in the spring of 2007.



The 25-year-old currently has 34 senior games to his name.
