Collingwood 18 yards shooter, Nick Daicos Aligned with Saints’ $77 Million Offer…
Nick Daicos, the 20-year-old Collingwood sensation, has been a pivotal figure in the AFL, showcasing exceptional skills that have garnered significant attention. In August 2023, Collingwood secured his talents by extending his contract until the end of 2029, ensuring his presence in the black-and-white stripes for the foreseeable future.
This strategic move by Collingwood was timely, as there were speculations about other clubs expressing interest in Daicos. Notably, St Kilda was rumored to have been preparing a substantial offer to lure him away. However, with the contract extension in place, such pursuits were effectively curtailed.
The Daicos family’s legacy at Collingwood is profound. Nick’s father, Peter Daicos, had a decorated 15-year career with the club, and his brother, Josh Daicos, also committed to a long-term deal, extending his contract until the end of 2030.
Collingwood’s football boss, Graham Wright, expressed the club’s enthusiasm, stating, “Josh and Nick are both quality young men and talented footballers, and we are looking forward to seeing them in the black-and-white stripes for years to come.”
By securing Nick Daicos with a long-term contract, Collingwood has not only retained a key player but also reinforced its commitment to nurturing homegrown talent, ensuring stability and continuity as the club aims for future successes.
