Collingwood has announced the addition of Sydney ruckman Darcy Cameron on a two-year deal.

The Pies have given up pick 56 for Cameron, but have gained pick 62 from the Swans alongside Cameron in return.

โ€œWe have been keen for some time to add to our group of ruckmen and Darcy is someone we identified as a good fit for our squad,โ€ Collingwood list manager Ned Guy told the club's website.

โ€œWe like his marking ability and think that, apart from time spent on the ball, he can develop into a presence in front of the ball.ย  Darcy has the instincts of a natural footballer. I think he will give Nathan and the coaching group real flexibility.โ€
