Bradley Lowery's family have welcomed Jermain Defoe back to Sunderland AFC after the striker re-signed for the club.
The ex-England international left his role as player-coach at Rangers earlier this month and has joined Sunderland as a free agent, signing a deal that initially runs to the end of the current season.
During his previous stint at the club, Defoe befriended Bradley Lowery - a terminally-ill six-year-old SAFC fan with neuroblastoma who sadly passed away in July 2017.
