The Gold Coast SUNS have today made the decision to part ways with AFLW Head Coach Cameron Joyce.
Joyce departs after four seasons and 42 games as AFLW Head Coach.
Gold Coast SUNS Chief Executive Officer Mark Evans said the club made the decision as it strives to build a strong and competitive AFLW football program.
“Following a disappointing 2024 season, we have reviewed all aspects of our AFLW football program to identify how we can continue to improve our performance and ultimately achieve our mission of winning AFLW Premierships,” Evans said.
“In order to take those steps forward and compete against the best teams in the AFLW competition, we have decided the club would be best placed under the guidance of a new Head Coach.
“Cam has led and overseen the transition of our AFLW football program over the past four seasons and created a foundation from which our players can strive for success moving forward.
“We’d like to thank Cam, his wife Leana and sons Henry and Oscar for their significant contributions to our football club.”
The club’s best finish under Joyce’s tenure was an Elimination Final exit in 2023 after a 6-3-1 season which saw the team finish 5th on the ladder.
The SUNS finished 17th in 2024 with a 1-9-1 record.
The club will begin its process for identifying a new AFLW Head Coach in the coming weeks.
