Defender Robbie Tarrant has informed North Melbourne that he will not accept the two-year offer put forward by the club.
Tarrant has been part of the club’s leadership group since 2017 and is an unrestricted free agent.
“We’re disappointed that Robbie has chosen not to accept our contract offer. We wanted to see Robbie remain a one-club player given what he has done for our football club,” GM Football Brady Rawlings said.
“After overcoming injuries in the early part of his career, Robbie has gone on to be a great contributor for North Melbourne over a long period of time.
“Robbie has been an elite defender in the competition and has provided us with great leadership and spirit.
“He has been popular with our fans, his teammates and everyone involved with the club, so it’ll be hard to see him in opposing colours, but we wish him well.”
Tarrant played 174 games for the Kangaroos, after being taken with selection No.15 in the 2007 NAB AFL Draft.
The 32-year-old’s best season came in 2016, when he won the Syd Barker Medal.
