The Gold Coast Suns have helped themselves to another Brisbane Lions star after signing Pearce Hanley (pictured) on a three year deal.

The Irishman has been one of the Lions few genuine stars in recent years and will add some additional firepower to the clubs talent packed but underperforming lineup.

Hanley says that after a troubled year  at the Lions in 2016, he’s looking forward to a fresh start on the Gold Coast.
