UNRESTRICTED free agent Daniel Wells has declared himself a North Melbourne player for life.
Wells enjoyed an excellent 2012 despite an achilles/calf problem that worsened in the second half of the season and forced him to miss the Round 23 game. The injury has also hampered his pre-season preparations.
It meant Wells, 28 this week, could do little during the club's Utah training camp.
He said his pre-season had been frustrating but he would be fit to take on Port Adelaide in Round 1.
Wells is out of contract this year, but was not expected to join the likes of Lance Franklin and Dale Thomas in delaying contract talks.
"I would love to be a one-club player," he said.
"I would love to see out my career with them (the Kangaroos). Hopefully I still have plenty of years, so I will just get out on the park and play good footy, and that will take care of itself.
"I have got a lot of time for the Kangaroos. We have been through some tough times but we are a really good team and it's exciting to be part of, and I want to help the young ones out.
"I played (in the session on Friday at Geelong) and got through the whole session and I am moving pretty well.
"I didn't have surgery but it was really sore and tender pretty much the whole time in Utah, and it was frustrating, but I tried to make sure no one picked up on my body language.
"It still wasn't quite right when I got back to Australia, but in the last couple of weeks it's gone pretty well and now we are putting heavy loads into it. The docs have assured me it is going to be fine, so I am getting some run in my legs."
Brent Harvey might be 34, but Wells says his training form shows he could easily go on past this season despite serving a six-week ban.
"He has had a super pre-season. The way he is training at the moment is as good as I have seen. He doesn't drop off one bit. There is no doubt he could go on again. He has a whole season to get through but he is training as well as ever."
