Fremantle denies rift between coach Ross Lyon and traded defender Greg Broughton.

"We spoke to Greg and his management at length yesterday and I think we all walk away really satisfied, and Greg as well that he's going to get a great opportunity at the Gold Coast.

Marcus Ashcroft on Greg Broughton. SEN.

"He can play defence, midfield or even half forward. We think he'll play mostly through the midfield. If fit, he will play every game next year."

SUNS land Broughton.

GC SUNS General Manager - Football Operations, Marcus Ashcroft said the deal was a great result for the GC SUNS, and Broughton would add valuable experience and versatility to the team.

Securing another experienced player like Greg, and maintaining our position with a selection within the first round of the National Draft is an excellent result for the club.

"We have been active in our pursuit to further strengthen our list, Greg now joins Tom Murphy in adding valuable experience to our list," Ashcroft said.

Whirlwind 48 hours for Broughton.

"I am very excited that the GC SUNS have given me an opportunity," said Broughton.

It all happened really quickly; I heard on Wednesday morning that the GC SUNS were interested, and by the afternoon I was signing the transfer forms.

“It is an exciting young group, and I am just looking forward to coming over and joining the GC SUNS.”

...

“I haven't done altitude training as yet, but I know it helps with your recovery, but I am sure the club will inform me what it is all about,” he said.

I am looking forward to being able to meet and bond with the playing group over there, and the challenges the camp will present.

Broughton has made a name for himself in defence and it’s a role he likely to continue playing for the Gold Coast SUNS after an initial chat with coach Guy McKenna, something Broughton is quite comfortable with.
