Former Sunderland centre-back Danny Collins has praised Leeds United loanee Joe Gelhardt's work ethic after the 20-year-old's start to life under Black Cats boss Tony Mowbray.
Gelhardt appears to be the club's only out-and-out striker for the foreseeable future after regular starter Ross Stewart went down with a serious injury a few weeks ago but has started to adapt well to his new surroundings.
Whilst he's still without a goal in the three matches he's played for the Black Cats so far, he has come close, striking the side-netting and the crossbar against Queens Park Rangers earlier this week.
