Bobby Hill has officially signed a fresh deal with Collingwood.

The exciting forward's four-year extension will keep him with the Magpies until at least the end of 2030.

Hill, 25, joined Collingwood from GWS in 2023.

That same year, he earned the Norm Smith Medal, kicking four goals as his team won the AFL Grand Final.

He has remained an important part of the squad since then, averaging over one goal a game last season.

The Northam-born talent has continued his strong form for the table-topping Pies in 2025 by bagging 10 majors after seven matches.

"I’m excited to sign on and stoked to be hanging around at the Pies. 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."

Hill joins a growing list of players to have committed to Collingwood long-term.

Josh Daicos, Dan Houston and Harry Perryman are all locked in until 2030, while Nick Daicos and Isaac Quaynor have contracts through to 2029. 

After dropping out of the top eight last season, the Magpies have responded in impressive fashion, currently sitting at the summit of the ladder with six wins and one loss.
