Jewison Bennette will join Greek side Aris FC on loan until the end of the season, Sunderland have confirmed.
The 19-year-old will spend the remainder of the season with the Thessaloniki-based side, who are currently placed fifth in Super League Greece.
Since moving to the Stadium of Light in August 2022, Bennette has made 20 senior appearances for the Club, contributing two goals and two assists. The Costa Rica international, who has featured for his nation on 12 occasions, also represented Los Ticos at the 2022 FIFA World Cup following his arrival on Wearside.
Sporting Director Kristjaan Speakman said: “We want to increase Jewison’s playing opportunities over the second part of the season and provide him the best chance for international selection - through both of these, we create the best conditions for him to return in the summer for our pre-season programme. There is no option or obligation in the agreement to convert it into a permanent move and it’s very much about the player’s development. We look forward to supporting Jewison’s progress from afar throughout the next few months.”
