North Melbourne trio Aidan Corr, Zac Banch, and Ollie Griffin have signed one-year contract extensions to remain at Arden Street until at least the end of the 2027 season.

Experienced key defender Corr has locked in for a seventh season with the Kangaroos. Since arriving from GWS as a free agent at the end of 2020, the 32-year-old has provided crucial defensive size and leadership across the backline.

Banch has earned a rookie extension following continued promise in the forward line. Recruited with pick No.2 in the 2025 AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft from Werribee, the 23-year-old has impressed in his first 18 months at Arden Street with his forward craft and pressure.

His debut season was highlighted by a Mark of the Year nomination, and he continued to build on his craft across eight senior appearances in 2026.

Griffin has also put pen to paper on a one-year rookie deal after arriving at the club via the 2026 AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft. The 19-year-old has shown encouraging signs in the VFL, bringing versatility, genuine toughness and goal sense to the squad.

"Aidan has been a tremendous leader for our backline and wider playing group since he arrived at the club," North Melbourne head of football talent Brady Rawlings said.

"His defensive organisation, competitiveness and willingness to guide our younger key defenders is incredibly valuable.

"Zac has shown great resilience and work ethic since coming in as a mid-season draftee. He brings fantastic energy to our forward half, applies great pressure and continues to develop his craft at the top level.

"Ollie has settled into our environment really well since arriving mid-year. He’s a fierce competitor with great flexibility, and we look forward to watching him take another step forward in his development over the next 12 months."
