North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos trio Tess Craven, Eliza Shannon and Ella Slocombe have each extended their time at Arden Street.

Craven has signed a three-year contract extension to remain a Roo until at least the end of 2027, while Shannon and Slocombe have signed on until at least the end of 2025.

Craven, 20, has played 26 games since being taken by the Kangaroos with pick No.13 in the 2021 AFLW Draft.

Shannon, 24, made a promising start to her AFLW career at Hawthorn in 2022, playing six games before joining North Melbourne ahead of the 2023 season and adding 13 more games to her tally.

Slocombe, 18, was the Kangaroos' first selection and 26th overall in the 2023 AFLW Draft, with the outside midfielder making a great impression during her first pre-season at Arden Street.

“We’re excited to have Tess, Eliza, and Ella sign on beyond the 2024 season,” North Melbourne AFLW list manager Flynn Loft said.

“Tess enjoyed her most consistent season to date in 2023, featuring in all but one game and showcasing her ability to play across half-back and the wing, while Eliza slotted in well into our backline with her intercept ability in both the air and at ground level.

“Ella has also impressed during her short time at the club with her outside run and robust ability at the contest.

“We look forward to watching them continue their development at Arden Street.”
