AFL games record holder Brent Harvey will play for Northern Football League club North Heidelberg next season.

After weeks of speculation about his future, Harvey officially signed with the division 2 club on Monday. He will link up with his brother Shane who already plays for the club.

Harvey’s incredible AFL career, which began in 1996, came to an end this season when he was delisted by North Melbourne.

Initially, there was speculation he could land at an AFL club for one or two seasons but there was little interested in the lead up to the trade period.

Despite being 38-years-old, Harvey has shown no drop off in his form.

Very excited to announce that I will be joining my brother next season st @NorthHeidelberg hope to see you at the kennel. #godoggies — Brent Harvey (@Boomer_29) October 17, 2016

In 2016 he finished fifth in North Melbourne’s best and fairest and booted 36 goals.

That pedigree is sure to have the second division Bulldogs in premiership contention.

North Heidelberg finished on top of the ladder this year before losing the Grand Final to Hurstbridge.
