Callum Doyle could be a future England captain, according to his Sunderland team-mate

Bailey Wright believes he could be playing alongside a future England captain in Callum Doyle.

Sunderland's crop of youngsters have exceeded all expectations this season, with on-loan Manchester City defender Doyle one of the standout performers in a group that also includes the likes of academy graduates Dan Neil and Elliot Embleton, along with summer additions Niall Huggins, Dennis Cirkin, and loanees Nathan Broadhead and Thorben Hoffmann.

At 29, Wright is one of the Black Cats' elder statesmen - only Aiden McGeady, Corry Evans, and Tom Flanagan are older than him - this season.
