North Melbourne veteran Shaun Higgins has spoken about his future, saying he would be open to moving elsewhere if it was in the best interests of the club.
Despite being contracted, Higgins’ future at the Roos in 2021 is clouded as they look to turn over and rebuild their list.
"The reality is all options are alive," Higgins said at a TAB spring racing event on Tuesday.
"Clearly I'm still a contracted player, there is the possibility that I'll continue there but at the same time – and I said this last year when I was going through negotiations talks of moving teams as well – that I'll always put what was best for the club first.
"I did that last year, if it was best for me to move on and we were going down that path and avenue of bringing young guys in given my age, as much as I love the club and I wanted to stay, that I would be open."
Geelong is one of the clubs who have repeatedly been linked to making a move for the midfielder and Higgins said he would assess his options in the coming weeks after returning from Queensland.
"There was some speculation around it last year," he said.
"When I get back next week I'll sit down with respect to the footy club and get their thoughts on it and sit down with my management.
"I'm sure that'll all play out in the coming weeks."
