Overview
- The decision was made jointly by Hill, his management and Collingwood, with the club announcing the leave on Friday.
- Hill managed just one senior appearance in the final three months of 2025 as a substitute after an interrupted season.
- He attempted a late push for finals selection but lacked the training and VFL minutes to be picked for the preliminary final.
- Brief off-season trade speculation did not progress, and Hill remains contracted at Collingwood until the end of 2030.
- 7NEWS previously reported a hamstring issue before Christmas, and the club says he will return to full duties only when appropriate.
