Coach Craig McRae says Bobby Hill will always be welcome at Collingwood despite the troubled star looking to cut short his contract.
Hill was the hero of the Magpies' 2023 premiership under McRae, winning the Norm Smith Medal after a four-goal grand final showing against Brisbane.
But taking stretches of personal leave, the 26-year-old small forward has not played for almost a year and is unlikely to wear Collingwood colours again.
With the club and Hill's management dealing with the issue of a contract that runs until the end of 2030, McRae said he was more concerned for Hill's wellbeing, and sent a message of support.
