The Gold Coast SUNS are set to welcome back a number of stars via the NEAFL this week.
The GC SUNS reserves are coming off a bye and could welcome back up to five players for this weekend’s game against the Broadbeach Cats.
Rising star Brandon Matera is a chance of returning from injury, while Josh Caddy is set to play his first game since injuring himself in the NAB Cup.
An inside ball-winning specialist with a fantastic work rate, Melbourne-raised Caddy was selected at Pick 7 by the GC SUNS at the 2010 National Draft.
Caddy captained Northern Knights in the 2010 TAC Cup competition. He also starred for Vic Metro at this year’s Under 18 National Championships - he averaged 25 possessions, 11 contested possessions and seven clearances per game.
Unsurprisingly he was selected in the Under 18’s All Australian squad.
A powerfully built, tough and courageous midfielder with a superb kick, he may be the SUNS best recruit next season.Nathan Ablett and Daniel Harris are both potential starters for the SUNS reserves.
