Collingwood captain Nick Maxwell has signed a two-year contract extension, tying him to the club until at least the end of 2013.

Maxwell said he was keen to build on the success of winning the 2010 premiership.

"As captain of the club I have committed to the cause as I can see that we have a real opportunity to experience a period of sustained success, and it would be great for everyone in the group to follow my lead," Maxwell told collingwoodfc.com.au.

"We have created an environment that players want to be a part of, and we have a really strong, driven group.

"I'm determined to make the most of the opportunity to be part of something special."

The 27-year-old has played 140 games in seven seasons and in 2010 became the ninth player at Collingwood to captain the Magpies to a premiership.
