Ben King confirms Gold Coast exit after emotional final game for the Suns
The star goalkicker has told the Suns he will exercise his right to move as a restricted free agent in October.
He is expected to land at Hawthorn, though his club of choice is yet to be confirmed.
“Ben King has today informed the club of his intention to explore his options as a restricted free agent during the upcoming free agency period,” Gold Coast said in a statement.
“As a restricted free agent, Gold Coast retains the right to match any offer made to Ben by another club and will consider all options in its best interests.
“King has not advised Gold Coast of his desire to join a particular club. The free agency period opens on Friday, October 2.”
King was visible emotional after Gold Coast’s Round 24 victory over St Kilda last Thursday night, admitting to Channel 7 after the game that it might have been his last game in Suns colours.
