THE good news keeps coming at North Melbourne with Shaun Atley re-signing until the end of 2015.

The 20-year-old was contracted to the end of this season, but the Kangaroos were quick to tie the defender to the club by signing him to a two-year contract extension.

It comes after yesterday's announcement that North had re-signed coach Brad Scott, co-vice-captain Jack Ziebell and star midfielder Daniel Wells until the end of 2016.

"We hope to always be improving and things are definitely going in the direction for us, it's really exciting with what we are trying to build," Atley told the AFL website.

"I think the fact the majority of the boys are around the 22-26 age bracket and are starting to play some good footy means we'll end up where we want to be and that's playing in the finals regularly and hopefully winning a premiership in the not too distant future."

Atley said he was thrilled with the re-appointment of Scott.

"Brad knows exactly where we want to go as a club and what we need to do to get there," Atley said.

"We're all doing what we can to try and get to a premiership as soon as possible and what he's done so far has been amazing.

"With Brad as coach, the younger guys and all the guys want to sign up."

Atley played all 23 games for North Melbourne last year.
