She may have only been in the country less than 48 hours, but Meghan Markle has already caught the eye of North Melbourne recruiters, who are preparing a Godfather offer for the Duchess of Sussex, known for her silky work on the outside.

Markle was taken aback when confronted with the news, and immediately refused an offer to tour the destitute facilities for fears of contracting an unknown disease.

Not to be deterred, Kangaroos football staff believe they are in the pole position to land the smooth-moving winger, despite her openly identifying as a female and the trade deadline officially passing yesterday afternoon.

More to come.
