North Melbourne has today lodged paperwork for a trade that will see midfielder Levi Greenwood depart Arden Street.

Greenwood has been traded to the Collingwood Football Club in exchange for the Pies’ second round selection in the upcoming National Draft (Pick 25 overall).

The 25-year old leaves the Roos after 74 games, kicking 26 goals since his debut in 2009 against Richmond.

Greenwood finished third in this year’s Syd Barker Medal.

Director of Football Geoff Walsh thanked Greenwood for his contribution to the club.

“Levi was a valued member of our side and we’re sad to see him go after seven seasons,” Walsh said.
