Meredith straight into it with Kangaroos
December 4, 2008
North Melbourne’s newest signing, Laois rookie Conor Meredith, was thrown straight in at the deep as he joined the Kangaroos for his first training session last Monday just a day after returning to Australia from Ireland.
Meredith was signed to a two-year deal by the Kangaroos after a successful trial with the club in November, and he got straight into the thick of things at one of the club’s first training camps on Wilson’s Promontory south of Melbourne.
“I’m only just off the plane, I was home in Ireland for five days and left on Friday (November 28) to come back to Australia and I’m straight into it,” Meredith told the Kangaroos’ online television station Rootube.
“The travelling really takes it out of you, but it’s great to be back and I can’t wait to get stuck into it now.”
Meredith became the 11th Irish player on an AFL list when he joined the Melbourne club last month.
