Lynden Gooch has signed a new two-year deal with Sunderland after helping the Black Cats win promotion back to the Championship. The 26-year-old has been an ever present in the Wearsiders' starting XI and a mainstay in Alex Neil's side since the head coach arrived on Wearside.
The United States international made the right-wing back slot his own as Sunderland won promotion to the Championship and cut an emotional figure at the full-time whistle at Wembley. Gooch came through the ranks at the Academy of Light and calls the club his own having arrived on Wearside in 2012.
Speaking after signing his new deal, Gooch said: “This is important for my family and I because this is our home. I’ve been here for 10 years as a professional and I’m really pleased that we are all going to be here for another two years.
