Kangaroos Rising Star inks fresh contract extension

2023-03-21T11:59+11:00

North Melbourne youngster Harry Sheezel will be a Kangaroo until the end of the 2026 season after inking a fresh contract extension.

Already signed until the end of 2024, the number three pick from last year’s draft has added an extra two years on his deal.

Sheezel made his AFL debut in the win over West Coast last weekend where he collected a game-high 34 disposals and was rewarded with a Round 1 Rising Star nomination.

While he’s already impressed, North Melbourne head of football Brady Rawlings believes the 18-year-old is only beginning to scratch the surface of his immense potential.

“We are thrilled to have both a player and person of Harry’s calibre commit to the club for a further two years,” Rawlings said via a statement.

“Harry is clearly an exciting talent and has shown the potential to play several roles for the club, whether it’s up forward, in the midfield or off half-back.

“His debut against the Eagles was only a small preview of what Harry has to offer, and we look forward to seeing what more he is capable of as he gets more games under his belt.”

Sheezel will hope to continue his stunning start to his career when the Kangaroos head west to face Fremantle on Saturday night.
