“I’m absolutely pumped and it’s a huge weight off my back,” McMahon told NMFC.com.au.
“Extremely excited. It all happened so quickly and now I can now just look forward to playing some good footy and not have to worry about coming out of contract,” the 23-year old Tarrant explained.
The pair joins the likes of Daniel Wells, Jack Ziebell, Shaun Atley, Jamie Macmillan and coach Brad Scott on the list of those who have recently re-committed to the club.
Neither said they had any desire to look elsewhere and Tarrant said he will relish the opportunity to add to his Kangaroo games tally of 25.
“I’ve always felt like I’ve owed the club a great deal for what they’ve done for me,” Tarrant said.
“They’ve been really good to me over a number of years on the field and off the field. I was never not going to stay. As soon as they put something to Paul, my manager, I was happy to sign it.”
McMahon, 26, would have been a free agent at the end of this season but echoed Tarrant’s sentiments.
“I wouldn’t leave,” he said.
“Because North is pretty much my family. The club has treated me and my wife Des so well over the years.
“This new contract gives us some security, especially right now when we have baby number two on the way. The club is doing everything right by the players and the supporters in the way we’re headed. There’s so much to look forward to and I’m hoping we can win a premiership in my time.”
“When you look at the guys who have recently agreed to new deals, the future is good and I would have been crazy not to re-sign,” Tarrant added.
