Former North Melbourne skipper Andrew Swallow has been welcomed back to the AFL club as a board member. The 224-gamer was just 30 years old and had a year left on his contract when he left the Kangaroos at the end of 2017 — less than 12 months after giving up the captaincy — with the team’s rebuild and family motivations behind the abrupt split.
“Andrew and Nick bring strong and diverse skillsets which complement our existing directors. We now have experience across football, finance, legal, governance, medical, business, marketing, property and community.” Swallow, who completed a Bachelor of Business during his career, opened up on his life after the AFL in 2021. The father-of-three said he still harboured some regrets over the end of his time at North, as well as missing the opportunity to play with his brother at the Suns.
