In a surprising development, Collingwood Football Club’s star midfielder, Jordan De Goey, has announced his departure from the team. This decision comes after a season marked by both exceptional on-field performances and notable off-field controversies.

 

De Goey, who has been with Collingwood since being drafted in 2014, has been a pivotal player for the Magpies. His dynamic playing style and ability to influence games have made him a fan favorite and a key asset to the team’s success.

 

In a statement, De Goey expressed gratitude towards the club and its supporters, stating, “I want to thank everyone at Collingwood for the incredible support over the years. This club holds a special place in my heart, but after much reflection, I have decided it’s time for a new chapter in my career.”

 

While the specific reasons behind his departure remain undisclosed, it is speculated that De Goey is seeking a fresh start, possibly with a club that aligns more closely with his personal and professional aspirations. This move follows a season where he faced scrutiny for off-field behavior, leading to questions about his future with the Magpies.

 

Collingwood’s CEO, Craig Kelly, responded to the announcement, stating, “Jordan has been an integral part of our team, and while we respect his decision, we are saddened to see him go. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”

 

As De Goey embarks on this new journey, the AFL community will keenly watch to see where his career leads next.
