The North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos have thanked Lexi Hamilton after the 21-year-old informed the club of her wish to sign with an AFLW expansion club.

Hamilton joined the Kangaroos on the eve of AFLW season six as an injury replacement signing after representing the club at VFLW level in 2021.

A key position player and ruck, Hamilton played two games for the club across the season.

"Although Lexi has only been with us for a short time, her work-ethic and attitude this season were terrific, and will no doubt hold her in great stead in the AFLW moving forward," AFLW football performance and list manager Rhys Harwood said.

"With increased levels of player movement, we understand Lexi’s decision to pursues another opportunity, and thank her for her service to North Melbourne."
