Richmond has agreed to a trade deal with North Melbourne to secure the services of forward Aaron Edwards.

Details of the trade will be released upon official paperwork being lodged with the AFL today.

Edwards played 78 games for North Melbourne over six seasons and kicked 122 goals. 

His best season with the Roos was in 2011, when he played 19 games and booted 36 goals.

In 2012, he kicked 17 goals in nine games, averaging 11 disposals and five marks per match.

Edwards was selected by the Kangaroos at pick 82 in the 2006 National Draft, after an eye-catching season with Frankston in the VFL, when he kicked 100 goals and won the JJ Liston trophy for being the League’s Best and Fairest.

He was originally picked as a rookie in 2004 by West Coast, and kicked two goals in his debut game in Round 11, 2005, against Richmond.
