David Noble to coach North Melbourne

North Melbourne have appointed David Noble to be their next senior coach.

The Kangaroos' board confirmed the appointment after meeting on Friday with the 53-year-old winning the job after being interviewed this week along with other candidates, Collingwood assistant Robert Harvey and Essendon assistant Daniel Giansiracusa.

North's search panel consisted of Paul Roos, Rawlings, chief executive Ben Amarfio, board member and club great Glenn Archer, board member Sonja Hood and psychologist and leadership adviser Terry Coyne.

North had to appoint a coach well after the season after Rhyce Shaw stepped down as senior coach after only one full season in the position, due to personal reasons.
