Meath’s Vikki Wall and Niamh Martin from Tipperary have signed new deals to remain with AFLW outfit North Melbourne.
Former LGFA Player of the Year Wall has agreed a new three-year deal which will keep her with the Kangaroos until at least the end of 2027, while Martin has signed on for two more years, tying her to the club until at least the end of 2026.
Wall first joined North Melbourne in 2022 before sitting out the 2023 season to chase her Olympic dream with Ireland’s women's rugby sevens program. The 26-year-old, who is currently part of the Meath ladies football set-up, returned to the Kangaroos for the 2024 season, playing a further 14 games and a key role in the side’s history-making Premiership win.
Martin joined the club ahead of the 2023 season and has since played 16 games in the royal blue and white, including nine in 2024.
North Melbourne AFLW list manager Flynn Loft said: "Vikki’s return brought a different look to our forward line last year with her speed and physicality, and we can’t wait to see what she can do with a full pre-season under her belt this year.
"Niamh made some great strides in her development in her second AFLW season last year.
"Her speed and ability to take the game forward are standouts in her game, and we’re excited to watch her continue to develop as a player."
