Collingwood have agreed to terms on a new deal for robust and talented defender Brayden Maynard, who will be contracted to the Magpies until the end of 2022.

Maynard was already contracted until the end of next year, but will gain a further two years in the extension, becoming the latest Collingwood player to be tied up for at least three years.

Collingwood had previously given Maynard’s fellow defender Jack Crisp a four-year extension – tying him until the end of 2023 – while skilful forward Will Hoskin-Elliott also was recently given a two-year extension that commits him to the Magpies until 2022, Hoskin-Elliott having joined the club on a four-year deal.
