Trai Hume has outlined promotion as the target for Sunderland ahead of the 2023/24 Championship season, after signing a new long-term contract at the club. He's confident the club will be able to build on their top-six finish last season.
FIRST HALF OF THE SEASON
“The start of the season – last year – I wasn’t really playing much. I was on the bench and in and out of the team. I wasn’t playing as much as I wanted to, but come Christmas time, there were a few injuries and I got my chance."
CHRISTMAS ONWARDS
“I took my chance last year, and took it with both hands. I played basically every game from Christmas onwards, and this new contract shows what the staff and the club think of me."
HERE FOR A LONG TIME
“It’s a good thing, and I’m here to stay at the minute. They’ve tied me down for another year now, and that takes me through to 2027 I think, so I’m going to be here for a long time. I’m still young, fit and looking to play games. Hopefully, play next year and play with new team-mates, the team-mates from last year, and hopefully it’s going to be a good season like last year.”
GOOD SEASON
“The season we had last year was a good season for everyone. Obviously, we didn’t get what we wanted in the end, getting beat in the play-offs, but it was a good season personally for me."
NEXT STOP, PROMOTION
“It was a good season for all the players, all the season and the club. We’re going into next season excited and trying to do that again, but try and get promoted. We join up on the 26th for pre-season, and hopefully all the lads are fit, ready and go into the season and try to get promoted.”
