Campbell said a major reason for leaving Gold Coast was to be closer to family in Sydney, but stressed he\u2019d \u201calways be grateful for the opportunity afforded to me by the Gold Coast Suns\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have absolutely loved my time at the Gold Coast Suns. To see a club mature the way it has and play a role in that is something I\u2019m incredibly proud of \u2013 the feeling after the Elimination Final win against Fremantle is why we love the game so much,\u201d Campbell said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d like to thank everyone at the club, but in particular Bob East, Mark Evans, Craig Cameron and Damien Hardwick. Thank you so much for all your support and making the club a great place to work. The sense of fun and drive to get better has created an environment that gets the best out of our people.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was an incredibly hard decision to make, given my passion for my role and this club. However, the pull of a role closer to my family won out.\u201d<\/p>\n
