LIAM Shiels will remain at Arden Street and join North Melbourne's recruiting department full-time next month.
The 33-year-old retired in August after adding 33 appearances for the Kangaroos across two seasons, after Alastair Clarkson lured him out of retirement in 2022.
Shiels ended his playing career with 288 games next to his name after playing in three premierships at Hawthorn during his 14 seasons at Waverley Park.
The Victorian has spent time working in recruiting across his first two years at the Kangaroos and was spotted at the Telstra AFL Draft Combine over the weekend.
Shiels was hoping to transition into the list management department when he took up the opportunity to extend his AFL career at North Melbourne.
Now the 2008 pick No.34 will join nation recruiting manager Will Thursfield and head of football talent Brady Rawlings on a full-time basis ahead of next month's Telstra AFL Draft.
North Melbourne holds pick No.2, 25, 43 and 61 after trading 67 to West Coast on the opening day of the Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period to land veteran key forward Jack Darling.
Shiels becomes the latest player to enter the recruiting space after Brisbane great Justin Leppitsch transitioned from coaching to list manager at Collingwood this year.
Hawthorn appointed four-time premiership great Jarryd Roughead as player acquisition manager at the start of the year.

That’s a shame I thought the deal was he gets a recruiting job at North and plays VFL at North.
Mind you his not the 1st player to retire from the North AFL and go somewhere else but still have an off field job at North.

He has a recruiting job at the club but isn't playing vfl, vfl players have to train at a very high standard but don't get paid much which is why there isn't that much appeal more it outside people who still have a dream of making the afl
