The North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos have further bolstered the club’s existing star-studded line-up.
Ash Riddell (Open-Age Signing)
159cm - Midfielder / Forward
Running machine Riddell, will look to boost the strength of North Melbourne’s midfield and forward stocks.
After establishing herself at Diamond Creek, Riddell earned selection in the VFL Women’s team of the year.
Captain of MUWFC, the club has high-hopes for the 22-year-old.
“Ash is a ready-made midfielder, with the versatility to play inside, off a wing, or as a half-forward," recruiter Rhys Harwood told North Media.
"She has a great step, elite aerobic capacity, and is terrific user of the ball by both hand and foot.
The only player to be named in the 2017 'VFLW Team of the Year' but not drafted, Ash Riddell is now a @NorthAFLW player!

“Ash’s performance and commitment whilst training with Melbourne University this pre-season, as well as her outstanding character, made it impossible not to give her an opportunity and reflects in her being chosen to captain Melbourne University in 2018.”
