Rhyce Shaw has made two changes to the Gold Coast SUNS side set to take on the Brisbane Lions in Saturday’s QClash.

StreetSmarts SUNS Academy products Lucy Single and Mikayla Nurse have been named to return to action, after the pair missed the previous two rounds with respective injuries.

The duo step in for Annabel Kievit (injured) and young SUN Bronte Parker (omitted).

SUNS fans will also be excited to see young star Havana Harris this weekend. The 2025 leading goal kicker secured her future on the Gold Coast for an additional three years, as confirmed today.

Don’t miss their season. Cheer on the SUNS in the QClash at Brighton Homes Arena this Saturday from 5:05pm.
