With Pearce Hanley a chance to return to football via the NEAFL this week, the defender has been reinstated onto the senior list.

As confirmed in the Alpha Sport Injury Update on Tuesday, should Hanley pass all the required tests, he will line up for the SUNS reserves in Sydney on Saturday afternoon.

The return of Hanley to the primary list sees Gold Coast local Jacob Dawson move back onto the rookie list after playing two games for the senior side.
