The North Melbourne Kangaroos have selected Perri King with pick 43 in the 2021 NAB AFLW Draft.

Recruited from the Tasmanian Devils, King has also represented Glenorchy in the Tasmanian State League Women’s (TSLW) and North’s VFLW side.

Harwood said King will add more firepower through the midfield.

“Perri is a real competitor and is great in and around the contest. At 169cm, we think she’ll provide an even harder edge to our midfield group working with the likes of Ash Riddell, Jenna Bruton, Emma Kearney and Ellie Gavalas,” he said.

“She was the number one ranked tackler in the NAB League this season, and she can cover the ground really well and find the footy.

“She’s really good overhead mark for her size, which means she can play a few different roles for us.

“We love adding Tasmanian talent to our list and Perri has put together a great body of work and deserves this opportunity.”
