Amad has confirmed he has played his last game for Sunderland after his loan spell ended in play-off heartache at the hands of Luton Town on Tuesday night.
The Ivorian joined the Black Cats on deadline day of the last summer transfer window from parent club Manchester United and played his way into the hearts of the Stadium of Light faithful after a remarkable season in terms of his individual output. With 14 goals and three assists to his name in the league alone, Amad has taken home Sunderland's Young Player of the Year award.
Tony Mowbray's side came within touching distance of the Premier League, but a 3-2 aggregate defeat by Luton in the play-off semi-final has resigned Sunderland to another campaign in the Championship next term.
