The Gold Coast Suns have confirmed seven list changes for the 2021 season.

Corey Ellis, Josh Schoenfeld, Mitch Riordan, Sam Fletcher, Jesse Joyce, Jacob Dawson and Jacob Heron have all been informed that they won't be offered new contracts.

Suns General Manager of Football Operations Jon Haines thanked the players for their contributions to the club.

โ€œThis year has been an incredibly difficult period for player departures given the level of connection and sense of belonging that everyone involved with the playing group is feeling,โ€ Haines told goldcoastfc.com.au.

โ€œOn behalf of everyone involved with the Gold Coast Suns, including our members and supporters, we would like to take the opportunity to thank each player for their commitment and contribution to the football club. They are all outstanding young men with wonderful opportunities in front of them and we wish them every success for what lies ahead.โ€

It follows the announcement this morning that George Horlin-Smithย andย Anthony Miles have retired from the game.
