Magpies legend to retire at the end of the season
Pies great Steele Sidebottom will retire at the end of the season
The 35-year-old informed his teammates on Thursday that he will retire at the end of the season.
Sidebottom has played 373 games and kicked 213 goals in a stellar career for the Magpies, and won premierships in 2010 and 2023.
"On behalf of everyone at Collingwood, we want to congratulate Steele on everything he has achieved throughout his career but also to thank him for all he has given the club," coach Craig McRae said.
"Steele's football speaks for itself. His consistency, professionalism and ability to perform under pressure have been remarkable throughout his career. But for me, his greatest strength is his character. He's authentic, caring, humble and has a wonderful way of bringing people together. That's why he's so respected by everyone at our club.
‘Authentic, caring, humble’: McRae leads tributes as Collingwood hero Sidebottom confirms exit
Dual Collingwood premiership player Steele Sidebottom’s brilliant career will finish at the end of the Magpies’ 2026 season.
The 35-year-old won two club best-and-fairest awards, was named All-Australian in 2018 and was runner-up in that year’s Brownlow Medal. He played a key role in the Magpies’ 2010 and 2023 premierships, and won the Gary Ayres Medal for best player in the finals series in 2018 despite a quiet game in the losing grand final.
His goal from outside 50 metres in the final five minutes of the 2023 grand final is an iconic moment in Collingwood history as it virtually sealed victory for the Magpies when the goal put them 10 points in front.
