First-year North Melbourne forward Tarryn Thomas has signed a two-year contract extension with the Roos.

The 19-year-old has played 19 games in his debut season, averaging 12 disposals and kicking 16 goals.

Thomas was already contracted to 2020, but will now extend his deal until the end of the 2022 campaign.

โ€œIโ€™m really excited about the future with North,โ€ Thomas told North Media.

โ€œI love what this club stands for and what itโ€™s all about, and I canโ€™t wait to be part of whatโ€™s to come. We have a great group of young players coming through.

โ€œIโ€™ve really been a part of the club for a few years through the academy, so when I started I was really comfortable and felt like part of the team straight away.

โ€œIโ€™ve loved my first year and have learnt so much. Iโ€™m looking forward to getting a full pre-season in and improving next year.โ€
