NORTH Melbourne has locked away free agent Leigh Adams for the next two seasons, with the hardworking utility saying he never entertained leaving the club.
Adams' new contract ties him to the Kangaroos until the end of the 2016 season, with the club still working towards a deal with its other free agent, Todd Goldstein.

"It's great to get it all out of the way early and just concentrate on the footy," Adams said. "It's good to have the security of another two years.
"I think from the time 'Scotty' (coach Brad Scott) got here, he said if we can create a great culture, blokes won't want to leave and that seems to be working.
"We're all pretty close and good mates down there, and the club looks after us, so no one has really found the need to leave."

The 26-year-old is confident the window of opportunity is opening for North Melbourne, even if the frustration of some inconsistent performances still rankles.
North Melbourne has had some stirring wins this season against Port Adelaide, Sydney and Fremantle, yet struggled in other games such as last week's loss to Gold Coast.
"It's great that we have had some good wins, but it is frustrating that we can play that well and not bring it every week," he said.
"Obviously that's something we are trying to do. The competition is so even that if you are a few per cent off, then any team can tear you up on the day.
"It shows when we are not 100 per cent in intensity, we can be an average team, like the rest. But when we come out and play to our best, we are right up there."
Adams has played all seven games this season for the Kangaroos, but is gathering momentum after an injury-interrupted preseason, due to knee surgery.
"I've had a few issues with my knee over the years and it didn't really respond the way I wanted it to," he said.
"I had a limited preseason, but I was lucky to just get enough work in at the right time to be able to play in Round 1.
"I feel really confident in my body at the moment, and hopefully I will be able to get better and better as the year goes on."
