North Melbourne’s Eddie Ford will remain at the club until at least the end of 2025 after signing a one-year contract extension.
An exciting, high-flying medium forward, Ford was selected from the Western Jets with pick No.56 in the 2020 AFL Draft.
The 22-year-old has since kicked 30 goals from his 36 appearances in the royal blue and white, including a career-high 14 across 14 games in 2024.
He earned a Rising Star nomination in the final round of 2023 for his three-goal, 19-disposal and eight-mark performance against Gold Coast.
