Late today the Club made an official offer to Dale Thomas, who is a restricted free agent.

As a result, Collingwood now has a three day period to determine whether or not it will match the offer.

Thomas has played 157 games for the Magpies since debuting for the club in round one, 2006. He was an All-Australian and premiership player in 2011.

Thomas was the number two pick in the 2005 AFL draft, behind Carlton Captain Marc Murphy.

Updates to follow.
