THE NORTH Melbourne Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Eugene Arocca to the position of chief executive officer.

"Eugene comes armed with an enormous range of skills, both from within football and as a highly successful lawyer and businessman in his own right.

"He has worked most recently in an elite environment at Collingwood and we couldn't be happier that he's seen fit to join our club as the CEO," North Melbourne Chairman James Brayshaw said.

"He's exactly what this club needs at the top as we endeavour to make North Melbourne as successful off the field as we are on it."

A commencement date of his employment has yet to be determined.
