Sunderland defender Bailey Wright has left the Stadium of Light to pursue an opportunity oversees. The Australian international has mutually agreed his departure from the club after a three-and-a-half year spell.
Wright made 107 appearances in a red and white shirt and was part of the Black Cats side that won promotion back to the Championship in 2022. A lack of game time meant the 30-year-old spent last season on loan with Championship side Rotherham United and had been linked with a move back to the Millers this summer, but his future appears to lie elsewhere.
Wright said: “I’ve loved my time at Sunderland and I’ve had some incredible experiences with some great people. I look back on what has been an incredible journey – the highs of Wembley wins to the lows that came before – and I wouldn’t change a thing about my experience.
