North Melbourne has resigned promising midfielder Trent Dumont on a two year deal.

The 23-year-old had a break out season in 2018,ย highlighted by a career-high 38 disposals, 7 marks, 5 tackles and 7 inside 50s in Northโ€™s Round 23 win over St Kilda.

North Melbourne General Manager of Football Cameron Joyce said the contract extension was testament to Dumont's hard work.

โ€œTrent came back in terrific shape in the pre-season and went to new heights this season,โ€ Joyce told the North Melbourne website.ย 

โ€œHeโ€™s a player that flies under the radar somewhat but he is super-consistent and highly regarded here at Arden St.

โ€œTrent transformed his body and improved his fitness dramatically and the results of that hard work was there for all to see this year.

โ€œWeโ€™re really excited about the future for Trent and are confident he can keep improving at a rapid rate and become one of the leagueโ€™s best midfielders.โ€

Dumont played 22 games in 2018 and 61 in total since being drafted with pick 30 in the 2013 draft.
