The Holden Centre has two new parents in its midst.

Collingwood captain Scott Pendlebury and his wife, Alex, have welcomed son, Jax Michael Pendlebury, into the world.

Jax was born on Monday 15 May, two days after Pendlebury led the Magpies into action against Greater Western Sydney.

Pendlebury was determined to leave the match midway through to fly back to Melbourne should Alex have gone into labour during the day.

The club wishes Alex, Scott and Jax health and happiness for the years to come.
