November 7, 2013NORTH Melbourne has declared its intention to sign discarded Richmond forward Robin Nahas as a delisted free agent.
The Kangaroos announced on Thursday they had met with the 25-year-old, and would lodge paperwork with the AFL on Friday morning.
Nahas' recruitment will fill the need for a small forward partner for Lindsay Thomas after the club was unsuccessful in its chase for free agent Eddie Betts in October.
Betts chose to leave Carlton and sign with Adelaide.
Nahas played 83 games for the Tigers and kicked 100 goals, but managed only six senior games in 2013.
He is set to join his new teammates on North Melbourne's pre-season training camp in Utah, departing on November 15.
Kangaroos list manager Cameron Joyce said the 176cm livewire would be a strong addition to the club's list.
"He'll bring some more speed to our forward-line and just as important, some more defensive pressure in our forward half," Joyce told nmfc.com.au.
"Robin is known for his pace, energy and tackling pressure and we feel he will be a very solid contributor."
