North Melbourne's VFLW side has added several ex-AFLW players and retained some key names ahead of its third season.

Ex-North AFLW player Brittany Gibson will feature for another year and brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership to the team, while former AFLW teammate Elisha King will also return after recovering from an ACL injury.

Tasmanian inside midfielder Jen Guy will also return from an ACL injury. She missed most of the VFLW last season after going down in Round 3.

Essendon VFLW premiership player and exciting utility Marianna Anthony has come over to Arden Street where she originally took part in the club's AFLW 'train on' program.

Ex-Geelong AFLW player Madisen Maguire is another new signee and was also involved with the 'train on' program, while Jess Jones has returned after spending an AFLW season on Carlton's list.
