Craig Cameron has been appointed the new General Manager of Football at the Gold Coast Suns, after being at the club since 2017, and having several senior roles at the GWS Giants, Richmond, Melbourne and Fremantle.
Cameron has been elevated to GM of Football following the departure of Wayne Campbell, who joined the Swans.
He said this about his new role.
“It’s an exciting opportunity to play a role in both the operations within our football department, whilst also continuing to help build and look to the future for our programs and pathways,” Cameron said.

Cameron will remain involved in list management, but will take charge of the football department for the Suns, focusing on football operations.
With the change, it is understood that Kall Burns will be elevated from the club’s national recruiting manager to Cameron’s former role as list manager.
Burns began as a volunteer in the Suns’ inaugural season and advanced from sports science to GPS analyst, eventually joining the recruitment department.
