NORTH MELBOURNE young gun Jack Ziebell has signed a new three-year with the Kangaroos which will see him remain at the club until at least the end of 2013.
The 18-year-old, who was taken with pick nine in the 2008 national draft, managed 10 appearances in 2009 and was one of the favourites for the NAB Rising Star Award before his season came to an abrupt end when he broke his leg against Adelaide in round 12.
Ziebell said the decision to remain at Arden St was an easy one to make.
"There was really no question in my mind. North Melbourne is where I want to play my football," Ziebell told Kangaroos.com.au.
"The club has taken significant steps on and off the field and the group we have at the club is amazingly talented and I want us all to stick together because I believe we could be heading toward something pretty special in the near future."
"I don't have to think about it now and I can just get on with playing well for the club and our supporters."
North's list and strategy manager Cameron Joyce said Ziebell's decision showed the club was on the right track.
"Jack's commitment should resonate strongly among our young group and all our players should be delighted that he's chosen to extend his agreement," Joyce said.
"The future of this club was already looking bright but this latest development has just pushed it to the next level."
