North Melbourne is set to nominate father-son prospect Cooper Harvey in next month’s AFL Draft, the club confirms.
Harvey, who played for the Northern Knights in the NAB League and Vic Metro in the Under-18 National Championships, is the son of Kangaroos legend Brent Harvey.
Brent is the club’s games record holder with 432 senior appearances to his name. The small forward made was a member of the 1999 premiership team, made four All-Australians and won five Syd Barker Medals during his time at Arden Street.
Cooper like his dad is a midfielder/forward but is a taller prospect that stands at 180cm.
The 18-year-old played for North Heidelberg in Melbourne’s Northern Football League alongside Brent and his uncle Shane before making his NAB League debut.
Harvey is expected to be taken on the second night of this year’s National Draft which will take place on Tuesday, November 29, one day after the first round is read out on Monday, November 28.
