He came on with 20 minutes left with Rovers trailing 1–0 and scored twice to put Rovers in front before then setting up a dramatic late winner for Anthony Elding. His contribution earned him the man of the match award and he was named SWAI/Airtricity player of the month for November. He ended the season with seven goals. Ahead of the 2015 season, North returned to train with former club Grimsby Town, scoring against Corby Town in a friendly victory.
