North Melbourne midfielder Tom Powell has officially committed his future to the club, signing a contract extension that keeps him at Arden Street until at least the end of 2028.

The 23-year-old’s new deal comes on the heels of a consistent 2025 campaign. 

Playing every match, Powell averaged a career-high 23 disposals and secured a top-10 finish in the Syd Barker Medal, cementing his status as one of the Kangaroos' most reliable performers.

Originally drafted from Sturt in the SANFL with a first-round pick in 2020, Powell has evolved into a damaging, high-impact onballer at senior level.

North Melbourne head of football talent Brady Rawlings praised Powell’s consistency and work ethic over the past few seasons.

“Tom has developed into an essential part of our midfield group, and we see him as a key player for this club’s future,” Rawlings said.

“We’re confident that with another pre-season and more experience, Tom will raise the bar even higher in 2026. 

“We look forward to seeing him excel for years to come.”
