North Melbourne's Cam Zurhaar is reportedly getting closer to recommitting to Arden Street.
Despite garnering interest from rival clubs including Sydney, Zurhaar looks poised to continue his career in the light blue and white, especially since seeing improvement from Round 11 onwards.
The crafty forward has been open that he'd make a decision based on the development of the Kangaroos and if finals were in their future.
In the past month, Alastair Clarkson's men have turned their fortunes around, notching up two victories (West Coast and Gold Coast) whilst also being well within games against Collingwood, Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs.

And according to Channel 9's Tom Morris, Zurhaar has seen enough to want to extend his time at North Melbourne, despite "nothing formal" sent across the desk.
"My information this morning is that there is increasing confidence he will stay," Morris said on SEN.
"What he wanted to see was development and improvement and since round 11 he has seen that.
"There is no signature, nothing formal but I'm prepared to say it would be a big surprise if he played anywhere but North Melbourne next year."
Zurhaar and the Kangaroos will face Sydney in Round 18 as they look to continue their strong form.
