Former St Kilda, Sydney and Western Bulldogs forward Barry Hall has joined the Gold Coast Suns as a specialist coach.

The 2005 premiership captain will coach the club's key position players in a part-time capacity in 2017.

โ€œIโ€™m looking forward to working with what I regard as one of the most exciting spines in the AFL,โ€ Hall said.

โ€œThrough my broadcasting commitments with Fox Footy I have covered many of the teamโ€™s games and what stands out is the depth and quality of the key position players at the SUNS," Hall said.

"Throughout the year I often spoke with Rocket about the guys and I'm looking forward to getting involved and helping them throughout the year."
