North Melbourne’s Toby Pink and River Stevens have signed one-year deals to stay at the club for the 2027 season.

Pink joined the Kangaroos ahead of the 2024 season after a strong SANFL campaign with Glenelg, and has played 37 matches during his three seasons at the club.

The 28-year-old key defender played five matches in 2026, with his season ending early following shoulder surgery.

Stevens, 20, arrived at Arden Street via the 2024 AFL Draft as a father-son selection with pick No.67, and is yet to make his AFL debut.

The dynamic forward has spent his first two seasons developing his game in the VFL, showcasing his speed and athletic ability.

Head of football talent Brady Rawlings said he’s looking forward to seeing how both players can continue to grow in 2027.

"Toby has grown into an important part of our defensive depth over the past few seasons, and is a reliable player for us when called upon," Rawlings said.

“We have faith in River’s development and he has a lot of room for growth. We’re eager to see how he evolves over the coming year.

"We’re looking forward to seeing Toby and River hit the ground running in pre-season."
