Sunderland academy graduate Dan Neil has put pen to paper on a new contract to extend his stay at the club. The 21-year-old midfielder enjoyed a breakthrough campaign last term as the Black Cats won promotion to the Championship and has been a mainstay in Tony Mowbray's side this season.
Neil has made 40 appearances so far in the 2022/23 campaign, scoring two goals and notching sour assists. The midfielder has penned a new deal at the Stadium of Light, to extend his stay until the summer of 2026.
The Black Cats youngster joins fellow academy graduate Anthony Patterson - who earned a new contract last summer - in signing new terms with the club, a clear sign if it were needed from the Sunderland hierarchy that they're intent on keeping their best talents at the club.
