The five-time Group 10 premiership winner linked back with his junior club for the 2019 season following an incredibly successful, nine-year reign with Orange CYMS.
The black and golds of Group Three started last year's min-north-coastal title race as one of the premiership favourites but an untimely injury to Sullivan in the lead-up to the post-season meant Wingham shot out the finals back door in straight sets.
Now, in 2020, Sullivan's 11th season of bush footy, the Tigers are ready to road.
"The way this season ended will motivate us,'' Sullivan assured, the Tigers back at training last weekend.
He hopes to organise one pre-season trial and added he wasn't concerned about the decision to delay the start of the season until May 2.
"That'll give us a longer off-season and that could be good thing,'' he said.
In all probability this will be Sullivan's swansong as a player, calling fulltime on a career that included playing in the NRL and the English Super League before landing at CYMS in 2010.
