Ben King is set to leave the Gold Coast Suns and join Hawthorn, according to multiple reports. The coverage describes the move as a reversal from earlier statements: in May, King told media he intended to stay with the Suns. Two months later, the reports say he is now poised to make the switch to the Melbourne-based club Hawthorn.
All three outlets present the same core timeline and outcome. They report that the decision marks a change in King’s stated intentions just a short time earlier, shifting from staying put at Gold Coast to taking up a new opportunity at Hawthorn. The articles do not agree on additional details beyond the move itself and the contrast with his May remarks. Overall, the common account is that King’s future plans change within weeks, culminating in a reported transfer from the Suns to Hawthorn.
