FORMER captain Brent Harvey will step down from North Melbournes leadership group in 2014 to allow skipper Andrew Swallow to emerge from his shadow and oversee a new era of Roo leaders.

North coach Brad Scott told AFL.com.au on Tuesday of Harvey's impending move, lauding it as an act made in the best interests of the club.

"Brent will selflessly step out of the leadership group this year and take a really active role in mentoring our emerging leaders and I think that will certainly help Andrew grow as well," Scott said.

Interesting time to do it with Swallow likely to miss the first few games. Is JZ the vice captain nowadays?
