Geads Stays
Aiden McGeady has signed a one-year contract extension which will see him end his career at Sunderland AFC. McGeady said: “I’m delighted to have extended my contract at the Stadium of Light, and I’m looking forward to the new season. I’m enjoying my football and, like everyone else associated with the club, I’m confident that we can achieve promotion during the upcoming campaign. At the end of last season, I spoke to the manager because I only really saw my future here. I spoke to the manager before we knew where we were going to be, whether it was in the Championship or League One. I am happy here and I am settled here. When you get to my age it’s not about other things. I looked at it from different points of view because there were other clubs interested in taking me but I didn’t want to entertain that so I was keen to get something sorted. The club were quite keen as well, so it’s worked out well and it has been sorted out quickly over the last couple of weeks. I’m very happy here and I want to do everything I can to help get the club back to where I think it belongs.”
Jack Ross added: “Aiden was an important player for us last season, and he has a real desire to bring success to the football club. His quality on the pitch speaks for itself, but he also brings a wealth of experience to the dressing room. He enjoys playing for Sunderland, and I’m delighted that he has committed his future to the club.”
