Hawthorn veteran Shaun Burgoyne is closing in on a move that will extend his playing career, with the 36-year-old set to join the Suns.

Burgoyne has been offered a three-year deal in a player-coach role with the club, with the Herald Sun's Sam Edmund reporting the news on Tuesday morning on SEN.

โ€œIโ€™m hearing Shaun Burgoyne is very, very close to being formalised as a recruit at the Gold Coast Suns,โ€ Edmund toldย SEN Breakfast.

โ€œIโ€™ve been told itโ€™s a three-year deal to join the Suns and reunite with the CEO Mark Evans. There would be a coaching component involved in that as well.

โ€œIt would be a great get for the Gold Coast Suns, thatโ€™s no secret. I think itโ€™s really, really close.โ€

Burgoyne played 18 games in 2019 for the Hawks, which took his career tally to 376.
