"I love the club, I love the people and to be made a life member was something I never thought was going to happen and when it did, I was over the moon," McIntosh said.
McIntosh works with the club as a trainer, strapping players and helping them prepare ahead of training and matches.
He first got involved with the club when his son Drew played with North Launceston club president Thane Brady's son, Jett.
