Sunderland young star Dan Neil is aiming for an even better 2022 after bursting on to the scene at the Stadium of Light. Neil has been in and around the Black Cats' squad for several seasons now, but after impressing in pre-season, became an integral part of the side in the first half of the campaign.
However, the 20-year-old has found first-team opportunities rather more difficult to come back in recent weeks under new boss Alex Neil. But far from being a setback, the midfielder is using the opportunity to recharge his batteries and aim for even better things in the coming months.
And with plenty of games still to come before the end of the season - with potential play-offs to consider too - he is hopeful to play a key part in Sunderland's promotion push
