There’s no slowing down Noah Howes, the 2025 mid-season draftee who’s taken Collingwood’s VFL side by storm! After an electrifying debut campaign, the young forward has officially re-signed with the Magpies for another year, solidifying his place as one of the club’s brightest rising stars.
From just 10 VFL games, Howes delivered a sensational 15-goal season, proving himself as a natural finisher with remarkable consistency and confidence inside 50. His sharp footwork, instinctive positioning, and fearless attack on the ball have quickly made him a fan favorite among the Collingwood faithful.
Coaches and teammates have praised his relentless work ethic and team-first attitude, qualities that perfectly align with the Magpie spirit. Whether it’s leading from the front or applying forward pressure, Howes continues to demonstrate that he’s built for the black and white.
This new contract extension marks a well-deserved reward for his breakout season—and a statement of intent from a young player determined to make his AFL dream a reality.
With more development and experience on the horizon, Noah Howes could soon be the next Collingwood success story to rise from VFL promise to AFL impact.
For now, the Magpie Army can celebrate one thing loud and clear:
Noah Howes is here to stay— and he’s only just getting started.
