Cruize Garlett Biography

North Melbourne has delisted five senior players, including Matt Campbell and Cruize Garlett, as well as three rookies Malcolm Lynch, Brad Mangan and Gavin Urquhart.

Cruize Garlett knocks back a one-year contract with North Melbourne in search of a club willing to offer him more senior football opportunities.

"Cruize has thoroughly enjoyed his time at North, but felt he was always ranked down the midfield pecking order," Garlett's manager Tim Galic said.

"So he decided he wants to see what else is out there and to seek more senior opportunities at another club."

After a 24-possession game in North Melboure's win against the Power, Cruize Garlett believes the signs are good for the Kangaroos' future.

"We've got a pretty young midfield, so all the boys are contributing pretty well in there," Garlett said.

"There's a bright future here with Cunners [Ben Cunnington], [Ryan] Bastinac and Andrew Swallow leading the way, and Brent Harvey's really helping the boys out, so that's been great as well."

North Melbourne has delisted Daniel Harris, Sam Power, Matt Riggio and Michael Wundke while Cruize Garlett has been elevated from the rookie list.

"We'd like to sincerely thank each of these individuals for their significant contributions to North Melbourne," chief of football Donald McDonald said.

"I'd particularly like to extend our best wishes to Daniel Harris who played 149 great games for the club and showed true class throughout some difficult times during his career."

North Melbourne small forward Cruize Garlett will make his debut against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium tomorrow.

"He's worked really hard to get his opportunity," North Melbourne football manager Donald McDonald said last night.

"Everyone's rapt, from Bryce Lewis who recruited him; it's a good tick for the recruiting guys, and it's really good for our development fellas, and it's a real tick for our alignment with North Ballarat, because Cruize has basically played all of his footy there and they've done it really well."
