Greater Western Sydney midfielder Josh Kellyย has become the latest star of the Giants' gun midfield and now the latest player to be courted by a Victorian club.
Reports emerged on Tuesday that North Melbourne has offered Josh Kelly a nine-year deal worth $9 million.
The 22-year-old, who was ย selected with pick No.2 in the 2013 National Draft played 18 games in his debut season and has now played 62 matches, including every game last season, when he averaged 24 disposals per game.
He is now faced with a difficult conundrum. Stay a Giant and almost certainly taste success, or chase the cash and set himself up for life.
GWS coach Leon Cameron believes Kelly will choose to re-sign with the Giants.
โIโm really confident Josh wants to stay at the footy club and heโll deal with whatโs come in front of him right now,"ย Cameronย told reporters on Wednesday afternoon.
โHe really likes the place, heโs in the leadership group, heโs playing some really good footy, heโs very popular and he wants to stay.
โWeโll look forward to getting him done and dusted in the next couple of weeks, or month or so.โ
Kelly has collectedย 27 disposals in both of the Giants' first two matches this season.
