North Melbourne small forward Nathan Hrovat has been told he won't be offered a contract for the 2020 AFL season.

Hrovat played just five games for the Roos in 2019, with his tally for North Melbourne finishing at 39.

The 25-year-old played 30 games for the Bulldogs between 2013-2016.

โ€œNorth Melbourne is a very, very special place,โ€ heย told the Powershop Players Podcast.

โ€œI think they just personify that hardworking sort of culture and thatโ€™s exactly the way Iโ€™ll look back on it.

โ€œI know itโ€™s sort of thrown out in the media at times about how we have that Shinboner culture and weโ€™re unique, I genuinely do think North Melbourne is a unique place to be.

โ€œThe staff are incredible, the players and the culture are really, really good and especially under the guidance now of 'Shawry' (Rhyce Shaw); I think itโ€™s only just going to be a better environment to be in, better place to play footy and come to work.โ€
