After two previous stints on the coaching staff, is back with the .

This time, the 39-year-old former CFL kicker plans on being here to stay.

On top of being the Sun鈥檚 special teams coordinator, Boreham will work closely with Ben Macauley in the role of assistant head coach.

Based on both his playing and coaching experience, Macauley said Boreham is an invaluable addition to the Sun staff.

鈥淛amie is another set of hands and eyes for us, a guy who鈥檚 been around the game and can really help with what we鈥檙e trying to do here,鈥� said Macauley, entering his second season as Sun head coach. 鈥淛amie is going be able to help me out and our coordinators, too.

鈥淗e also has a certain level of perspective because of what he鈥檚 done in his career. I trust him because of where he鈥檚 been and I鈥檓 excited to be working with him again.鈥�

Boreham and Macauley worked together as assistants on the Sun staff in 2012. Boreham returned in 2015 as special teams coach under Shane Beatty and helped the Sun to a BCFC title and a berth in the Canadian Bowl.

Living and working back and forth between 琉璃神社 and the Lower Mainland the last several years has prevented Boreham from settling in on a consistent basis with the Sun organization.

But this year, after landing a job as a PE teacher and athletic director at Immaculata Regional High School, Boreham, his wife and their seventh-month-old child, have put down stakes in 琉璃神社.

Boreham looks forward to what he hopes will develop into a positive, long-term relationship with the Sun.

鈥淭hat鈥檚 the intent, to coach here full-time for as long as I can,鈥� said Boreham, who played nine seasons in the CFL, winning a Grey Cup with Saskatchewan in 2007. 鈥淚t bothers me to just do this part-time, it鈥檚 tough to give a consistent message that way. If I can use my experience to give back to the kids, have a good influence on them and help them develop as players, then I want to be around as much as I can.鈥�

As for working with Ben Macauley and the rest of the Sun coaching staff, Boreham looks forward to achieving a common goal.

鈥淏en is doing a fantastic job, he鈥檚 an honest guy and as a coach I trust him,鈥� said Boreham. 鈥淲e got along real well when we coached together. The coaching situation here hasn鈥檛 always been the best, but now it鈥檚 about putting the kids first, it鈥檚 not the Ben show. Let鈥檚 see how far we can push them and just how much better they can be.

鈥淚f we do this right as a staff, we can create an environment where the kids can take ownership of the product and all become better football players from it.鈥�

Much of Boreham鈥檚 coaching background is actually in basketball鈥攊ncluding more than a decade at Notre Dame Secondary in Vancouver鈥攁 winter sport that doesn鈥檛 conflict with the football season.

But in the end, Boreham believes coaching on the gridiron has long been his calling.

鈥淚 always had it in my mind I was going to coach, it was just where and when,鈥� he said. 鈥淚鈥檝e done well as a basketball coach, it鈥檚 funny the successes I鈥檝e had doing that. I鈥檝e learned a lot through basketball.

鈥淏ut football is what I do best,鈥� he added. 鈥淚鈥檓 really looking forward to having a positive influence on the kids.鈥�

The Sun will open the BCFC regular season this Saturday night against the defending champion Westshore Rebels. Kick off at the Apple Bowl is 7 p.m.
