The 32-year-old will play his first AFL game since Round 10 and is one of two inclusions to a Cats outfit who will be chasing their sixth consecutive victory.

Gary Rohan has also been included after being a late withdrawal with illness last week.

Joel Selwood (managed) and Tom Stewart (suspended) will miss the clash with North Melbourne.

Geelong has an excellent recent record against North Melbourne having won their past nine clashes by an average winning margin of 32-points.
