North Melbourne key forward Tahlia Randall has locked in her future at Arden Street, signing a one-year contract extension. The two-time premiership player and 2025 All-Australian has committed to remaining a Kangaroo through to the end of the 2027 AFLW season. Randall has established herself as one of the competition’s premier aerial targets and most prolific goalkickers, and is coming off a stellar 18 months, which saw her play a crucial role in the club’s back-to-back AFLW premierships in 2024 and 2025. Her standout 2025 campaign, in which she booted a career-best 24 goals, earned her a maiden All-Australian selection. Randall carried that form onto the international stage during the recent Australia v Ireland representative match, starring with a game-high four goals, while she also booted three goals in the Roos’ Round 1 win over Geelong on Saturday. North Melbourne general manager of women’s football Erin Lorenzini said Randall has become a key part of the women’s program. “Tahlia is such a popular figure around our club and one of our most reliable and consistent players,” Lorenzini said. “She sets a wonderful example through her humility, and to have her commit is fantastic for the ongoing stability and development of our women's program.”
