NORTH MELBOURNE utility Drew Petrie has been rewarded for his career-best form with a new three-year deal.
The 25-year-old is the latest Kangaroo to re-sign with the club this season, following in the footsteps of ruckman Hamish McIntosh, Michael Firrito, Daniel Pratt, Corey Jones and Brady Rawlings.
North Melbourne chief executive Eugene Arocca said signing Petrie was a 'high priority' for the club.
Petrie said he never contemplated leaving the Kangaroos.
"With the people that have played at this club before, like Arch (Glenn Archer) and Stevo (Anthony Stevens), the list can go on, it was never an issue to leave," he said.
"Those guys have really made the club what it is today, now it's up to us to carry that baton."
