The Gold Coast SUNS have advised five players that their contracts would not be renewed next season as part of the club’s review process in preparation for the 2014 season.
 

Senior players Jacob Gillbee, Kyal Horsley, Liam Patrick, Maverick Weller and Joel Wilkinson were each informed of the clubs decision during their scheduled review meetings today.

General Manager – Football Operations, Marcus Ashcroft said it was important for the Gold Coast SUNS and its supporters to recognise the commitment these players have made to the club.

“On behalf of everyone involved with the Gold Coast SUNS we want to commend the players for the contributions they have made to the club, we wish them every success and all the very best for the future.”

“The players leave knowing they played valuable roles in our clubs establishment and will always be welcome at the club in the future,” Ashcroft said.

In line with the Gold Coast SUNS draft and player concessions the senior playing list will reduce from 42 to 40 players in 2014.
