Strong early season form for the Roosters in the VFL earned Black a spot in the senior side for the Round 9 game against Brisbane. He responded with a scintillating second quarter burst, playing a large part in North's victory on the day with three goals and two goal assists.
Black re-signed for two more years and is contracted to the end of 2014.
Quotes
"Blacky's different to all of the key-position players we've got. He adds some real spark"
Brad Scott
"It was great to sign the new contract with North. I'm a WA boy, but I love it over here in Melbourne, more than Perth now, so it's great to be here for another two years and, hopefully, it will be a while longer than that."
Aaron Black
"He had been one of the players to inspire the Roos in the first half, kicking two goals in the second term and assisting Brent Harvey and Sam Wright for two more."
