COLLINGWOOD has locked in young gun Jamie Elliott, one of the AFL's in-form small forwards this season, for the next two seasons.
And promising young ruckman Jarrod Witts has also inked a new deal for the next three seasons.
Elliott, 20, has kicked nine goals from his four games this season, including a five-goal haul against Carlton and three goals against Hawthorn.
His form in his second season had attracted the interest of rival clubs, but the one-time kid from Euroa has now committed to the Magpies until the end of the 2015 season.
Witts, also 20, is yet to play a senior game, but has long been touted as a ruckman of the future.
"Obviously I wanted to see how the first few rounds went with my form,'' Elliott told The Club last night.
"It was really promising for me, and to get it out of the way now, and focus on the year ahead is a big deal. It is a big relief for me.''
Collingwood director Geoff Walsh described the pair as "two of our most promising players.'
"Jamie Elliott, with almost 20 games under his belt now, is becoming one of the bright young players of the competition,'' Walsh said.
"Jarrod, although he is yet to play a senior game, has played some really good games in the VFL of recent times and certainly as a ruckman, we have invested heavily in his future and we see him as a player in Collingwood colours for a long time.''
Witts said: "I haven't even played a senior game yet and they have given me that security of three years. They have shown a lot of faith in me and it is up to me now to repay them.''
