Tom Lynch says a month on the sidelines hasn’t helped him develop any more clarity on his future as the Gold Coast star prepares to return on Saturday.

The high-profile free agent enjoyed a stint at home in Victoria to visit family during the AFL club’s bye week, having already missed three games with a knee problem.

Confirming his fitness for Saturday’s clash with Geelong, Lynch says he is no closer to signing a contract with the Suns as rival clubs line up to poach the key forward.
