FROM the back of the bus to the front of the plane.
Jared Brennan's road to redemption is all but complete.
The mercurial 28-year-old was on the brink of quitting the AFL after a horror 2012 season in which the high-priced recruit was twice dumped to the Gold Coast reserves.
Disillusioned and questioning if he still had the passion to play at the top level, a reclusive Brennan withdrew from the pressure-cooker environment of the AFL knowing his career balanced on a knife's edge.
But the former Lion was a new man during the Suns' two-week high-altitude camp in Arizona.
He trained the house down to the point where he was voted by his peers as the best performer in the US - and was rewarded with a seat in business class for the long flight back to Australia.
"He's backed it up (since returning home)," Suns coach Guy McKenna said.
"The big test is coming back to sea level and putting your head down and working hard.
"Jared has shown a real appetite for that hard work. He hasn't missed a beat. His enthusiasm is up, his passion is up, all indicators to do with his training are on the up."
Brennan said he would have regretted pulling the pin.
"I've still got a few good years left in me. If I gave up now it was probably the easy way out," he said.
"(And) I don't want to be known to take the easy way out."
