Supporters were sent wild when the long-awaited news was confirmed by the Black Cats in the small hours of Tuesday morning.
The 39-year-old fulfilled his promise of coming back to the club that he spent two and a half years with between January 2015 and June 2017 and, unsurprisingly, he was delighted with his return to Wearside.
