Collingwood is pleased to announce that Noah Howes and Lachlan Sullivan have signed new deals with the Club.
The pair have both committed to one-year contracts that will see them in the black and white in 2026.
Howes, who joined the Pies during the 2025 AFL Mid-Season Draft, played 11 VFL games, scoring a total of 15 goals, including a haul of five in Collingwood’s thrilling two-point victory over Gold Coast in Round 16.
The 19-year-old stands at 196cm tall and is known for his contested marking and aerial ability.
Selected during the 2024 Supplementary Selection Period (SSP), Sullivan has since gone onto play 24 games.
The midfielder played 14 games in 2025 before a knee injury in Round 20 sidelined him the remainder of the season.
Before signing with the Pies, Sullivan played VFL for Footscray, where he won two Club best and fairest awards.
General Manager of List and Talent Strategy Justin Leppitsch said:
“We are pleased to have Noah and Lachie sign on for the 2026 season,”
“Noah joined us in the middle of this year via the Mid-Season Draft and has impressed at VFL level. His presence up forward and ability to hit the scoreboard has been an asset to us. With a full pre-season at the Club, we look forward to seeing where he can take his football.
“Lachie has been a great addition to the Club since his joined ahead of the 2024 season. While a knee injury ended his 2025 campaign early, he impressed across his 14 games and being the resilient person he is, we know he will come back stronger next year.”
Collingwood will make further additions to its AFL list through the 2025 AFL Telstra Draft, which spans across the 19 and 20 November, with the AFL Rookie Draft to follow on the 21 November.
Currently, the Pies will take picks 39, 45, 56, 61, 77, 95, 113 into the Draft.
