North Melbourne superstars Jasmine Garner and Ash Riddell have each committed long-term to the club, signing contract extensions that will keep them at Arden Street until at least the end of 2030.

Garner, the Kangaroos' captain, and Riddell, her vice-captain and midfield counterpart, have formed one of the most formidable duos in AFLW history. 

Between them, they boast 13 All-Australian blazers and seven Club Champion awards, while both have played crucial roles in North Melbourne’s two AFLW premierships.

Garner remains at the top of her game, with the skipper averaging 31 disposals and five clearances per game, while booting 10 goals during the 2026 AFLW home and away season.

Riddell once again led the League for disposals throughout the season and is just two matches away from her 100-game milestone.

North Melbourne general manager of women’s football Erin Lorenzini said having both players commit together is fitting given the partnership they’ve formed. 

"What Jas and Ash deliver on gameday is exceptional, but what they bring to the club every single day off the field is what truly sets the standard," Lorenzini said. 

"Their work ethic, accountability, and genuine support for their teammates have built the foundation of our culture, and their bond on and off the ground is special. 

"Despite everything Jas and Ash have already achieved in their careers, they are nowhere near satisfied. We strongly believe their best football is still ahead of them, and we are thrilled they will continue to lead this group as we continue to strive for ultimate success going forward."
