The Christmas and New Year hiatus is over and now the countdown to season 2017 has truly begun.

North’s players were back in training on Monday refreshed and ready. The players were put through their paces in a series of testing sprints to get things underway, before a skills session followed.

With close to the full list participating in training, it’s an exciting time at Arden St and just 41 days remain until the Roos’ first pre-season hit-out against Sydney in Coffs Harbour on February 19.

Keep an eye on NMFC.com.au for all the highlights of training, available a little later today.
