Martin has been at the Suns since the age of 17 but will likely roll out for the Blues in what would be his first game back at Metricon since his departure.

Round 22 - Gold Coast v Brisbane, August 15. Starts at 7.25pm at Metricon Stadium.

The QClash games usually deliver some of the most exciting moments for Gold Coast every year and with the added twist of Callum Ah Chee’s defection to the Lions, this will be extra spicy.
