Collingwood has ended speculation over Ed Allan’s future with the Pies locking down the West Australian product on a new deal.

The club announced on Tuesday that the son of a Fremantle gun had put pen to paper on a new four-year deal to keep him at the club until 2030.

The 22-year-old had a breakout season playing 19 games this season, having managed just 15 across his first three seasons at the club, earning his place in the 22under22 squad.

Son of inaugural Fremantle captain Ben, Allan had been linked back to a possible return to his home state with West Coast reportedly interested as he entered the off-season still without a contract.

The club reportedly initally offered a two-year deal in August before upping the offer in recent days.

In an exclusive interview with The West Australian last month, Allan was tight-lipped over his future, though expressed a desire to remain at the Pies.

“There’s no news. That’s my manager’s job — that’s why I’ve got a manager; he’s working away trying to get something sorted,” Allan told The West Australian.

“Hopefully, we can get something sorted soon.

“I’m loving my time here.”

Having been used as a tagger throughout the year, the Claremont product showcased his skills as a pure midfielder, helping to lead Collingwood’s late-season revival alongside Nick Daicos.

His high-water mark came against Hawthorn, racking up 28 disposals and a goal in the round 23 draw.

List manager Justin Leppitsch said the club was pleased to have Allan recommit to the club.

“Ed’s had an incredible season this year, and it’s been great to see the growth in his game and the confidence he brings on the field,” he said.

“He’s worked hard to get to this point in his young career, playing the football that we knew he was capable of. We’re excited about what’s ahead for Ed and look forward to seeing him continue to grow over the next four years.”
