Medhurst commits to Collingwood

[Dave The Man]

Paul Medhurst will remain a Magpie until at least the end of the 2010 season, having signed a new two-year contract with Collingwood.

Medhurst, 26, has enjoyed an outstanding season with the Magpies, having played all 19 games and booted 47 goals playing as a versatile forward.

He spoke to CTV on Thursday about his new contract.

“It feels good. It’s very exciting. I have enjoyed my time here so far and no reason I won’t have another great two years, Medhurst said.

Medhurst came to the club in 2007 in a trade that sent forward Chris Tarrant to Fremantle.

“I started pretty slow early (at Collingwood) with a couple of injury setbacks and homesickness but I think I have built a bit of momentum going forward and the club has as well.

“(I am) Starting to play some really good footy together and I have really enjoyed my time.”

Medhurst previous season high has been 50 goals (2003) and looks to top that number this season.

“Three games plus hopefully finals coming up, one a game should get me there. It would be good to beat it by one or two.”

Collingwood will head over to Fremantle for the final home-and-away match of the season.

“Obviously their (Fremantle) struggling a little bit at the moment and were looking like a good chance to play finals again so I am pretty happy where I am within the club and where the club is heading.

“I haven’t been back to Subiaco to play Fremantle yet so I am sure it will be good fun. I will have family there to support me, should be a good crowd that gets in there as well so I am looking forward to it.”

Fantastic

thats good to see hes signed now. i was excited to see we got medders in the trade for tarrant because i remembered him as a good kick and mark for his size at freo. never would of have thought hed play this consistent footy tho for the pies though , would be easily in our top three for the copeland, battling it out with swan pendles. also even pushin for AA imo

Ironic it was almost the same day as news has broken that Tarrent is now out for the next 15 weeks with a shoulder injury. And i think kicked next to nothing goals this year.

May i also say medders stays Dids goes, if there is anything between them i guess thats been solved.

Despite the fact he did not work out at Collingwood I wish him the best in his recovery.
And I hope he can get his career back on track.
On his day he was good forward for the Pies.
