Michael Gordon has retired from playing Rugby League!
Michael Gordon will return to the Gold Coast Titans in 2020 but not as a player.
The recently retired fullback has been appointed as the Titans’ Development Coach for the 2020 season.
“Flash has come on board and is doing a bit of work with the back five,” Ryan James said on the club website.
“It’s great that the Club has looked at him and is investing in him for the future because for someone to have played over 250 games, he must’ve done something right.
“The Club has gone out and got what they wanted, and Flash is one of those people.
“It’s great because he’s a great person to have around the Club.”

ONE door closes, another door opens: That's the story of Michael Gordon's retirement announcement on Wednesday.
Gordon will officially hang up the boots as an NRL footballer at the end of this season after playing professionally for NSW, NSW Country, Penrith, Cronulla, Parramatta, Sydney and now Gold Coast.
It's a thought that has been met with excitement at the Northern Rivers Regional Rugby League club.
"Everyone involved has been looking forward to it for years but he just keeps going and getting better with age," said Raiders captain Guy Lanston, an old family friend of Gordon's.
"We were still worried that he was going to have another run.
"It's exciting that we get the chance to hopefully play with him next year."
Tweed Coast are coached by ex-Manly prop Brent Kite, who guided them to their maiden premiership last season, and have benefited from Gordon's intermittent presence already around training and on game days.
Lanston said the 35-year-old will bring plenty to the table.
"I guess what he is going to bring to the club is his knowledge and understanding of the game first and foremost," he said.
"I mean we're a club that just plays for free so we rely on people coming back and giving back and wanting to be a part of the culture we have got. When you get someone of his profile wanting to come and play for free, it's a pretty good asset to have for the club.
