A member of the GC SUNS highly-promising big man group. The young ruckman was hampered by hamstring and ankle injuries in 2011, playing seven games, including the Suns’ first two wins, and showed a great leap and mobility to go with his impressive tap work.
Like most teenage ruckmen, Gorringe will improve once he fills out.
Boasting plenty of promise he has signed for another two years.
South Australian Daniel Gorringe is a mobile ruckman blessed with fantastic ball-winning skills.
He was taken by the GC SUNS at Pick 10 at the 2010 National Draft.
Widely considered one of the best performed players at the 2010 National Championships, Gorringe, showed tremendous nous and deft touch in ruck contests against bigger opponents and proved himself a terrific disposer of the ball around the ground.
His goal-kicking is also a hallmark.
