Kangaroos' Thomas facing fresh texting allegations

North Melbourne player Tarryn Thomas is again facing an uncertain AFL future amid reports of new allegations relating to threatening behaviour towards women.

According to a report by SEN on Wednesday afternoon, Thomas has been accused of sending more threatening text messages.

It is unclear when those were sent.

The latest report comes two months after multiple women detailed allegations of inappropriate behaviour by Thomas to the AFL integrity unit.

The Kangaroos ordered Thomas not to attend Thursday's scheduled training session.

"North Melbourne is aware of media reports regarding Tarryn Thomas," the club said in a statement on Wednesday.

"Thomas has been participating in a respect and responsibility education program that deals with accountability, remorse and behaviour change following allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women.

"As has been communicated previously, North Melbourne and Thomas will co-operate fully in relation to any further allegation or investigation.

"Thomas will not attend training on Thursday while the club gathers more information."

Thomas spent time away from North Melbourne last month after being charged in January with threatening to distribute an intimate image.

That case is yet to be heard.

Earlier this month the 22-year-old faced court on two charges of violating a court order, but those charges were subsequently dropped.

Thomas, a first-round draft pick in 2018, has not been considered for senior selection so far this season.

North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson said last week Thomas still had boxes to tick off for the league, police and club before earning an AFL recall.
