Denver Hume has revealed a desire for first-team football and a need to 'enjoy' his football led to his exit from Sunderland.
The Black Cats' academy graduate spent 13 years on Wearside, but agreed a move to League One rivals Portsmouth for an undisclosed fee on Wednesday.
Hume made 82 appearances for the club and scored three goals, but a protracted contract saga last summer was the beginning of the end for his time at the Stadium of Light.
