Key forward Nathan Kreuger will remain at Collingwood next season after being offered a one-year contract extension.
Kreuger penned the new deal after registering just seven games with the club over the past two seasons.
Collingwood General Manager of Football Graham Wright was pleased to reveal the re-signing of Kreuger, and also Aiden Begg and Josh Carmichael.
"We're pleased to have Aiden, Nathan and Josh on board for another season," Wright said.
"Our football program is committed to investing in the next wave of young talent, and today's signings reflects this strategy.
"Nathan and Aiden have both displayed skill and commitment that underlines his potential.
"Their commitment to this Football Club at AFL and VFL level is highly commended. We look forward to their contributions in 2024."
Kreuger originally signed a two-year deal when moving across from the Cats, with a trigger for a third season.
Despite not reaching this trigger, Kreuger showed enough at VFL level for Collingwood to persist for at least a further season.
He kicked 24 goals from 14 games for Collingwood's VFL team in 2023 including a season-high five-goal haul against Casey Demons in Round 12.
The Ngarrandjerri man began his AFL career with Geelong after joining the club in 2018 when Carlton traded him to the Cats after selecting him as a pre-draft special assistance player.
He struggled with injury and opportunity across his three seasons at the Geelong but managed to break through for an AFL debut in late 2021.
Collingwood had been interested in Kreuger for over a year when they finally secured his services via a trade with Cats, receiving Kreuger and draft selection 55 in exchange for pick 41.
The talented forward made his debut for Collingwood against Adelaide in Round 2 of the 2022 season and looked promising, kicking two goals, but he would suffer a shoulder subluxation forcing him to miss a fortnight.
He booted another two goals in his return against Essendon but suffered a recurrence of the same injury, leading the club to send him for a shoulder reconstruction.
Kreuger will hope with a big pre-season that he can slot into the reigning premiers' forward-line, alongside Brodie Mihocek and Dan McStay.
In other news, star Brisbane defender Keidean Coleman is closing in on a new deal that could see him remain at the club for at least a further three seasons.
Coleman does not come out of contract until the end of the 2024 season, but AFL Media has reported that talks have progressed regarding an extension.
