Chris Mayne’s late career renaissance continues, with the Collingwood wingman extending his tenure at the Holden Centre.

Mayne, who was contracted for 2020, penned a one year contract extension that will see him through to the end of the 2021 season.

After a difficult beginning to his Collingwood career in 2017 as a forward, Mayne was reborn in 2018 as a wingman and half-back to the extent that he has played 42 of the last 48 games for the Pies.

His versatility, high football IQ and strong sense of team have become important to the Collingwood way.

“Chris is an example to all of his team-mates of what dedication, discipline and football smarts can achieve. He is also a fantastic clubman who people thrive around,” Collingwood list manager, Ned Guy, said.

“He helps our team tick and for that his team-mates and coaches value him highly. An extension is appropriate recognition of that.”

Mayne has played 45 matches for Collingwood across three seasons, for a career total of 217. He spent nine seasons with Fremantle before moving to Victoria as an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2016 campaign.

“I’m really pleased to have another year to share in the Collingwood experience,” Mayne said.

“The journey so far has been tremendously rewarding, personally and professionally. There have been a few twists in the tale but so much to be grateful for and the faith we have shown in each other makes me very proud.”
