Matthew Scharenberg signs three-year contract extension at Collingwood

Collingwood young gun Matt Scharenberg has signed a three-year contract extension.

The former first round draft pick has committed to the Pies until the end of 2018.

There had been plenty of speculation he was considering a move away from the club that drafted him in 2013.?

Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley was always confident of keeping him, judging by this interview with 3AW earlier in the month.
