Aiden McGeady has admitted he has probably played his last game for Sunderland after watching the 2-0 League One play-off final victory against Wycombe from the bench.
The 36-year-old winger has not featured on the pitch for the Black Cats since coming on as a 74th-minute substitute in the 1-1 draw against Shrewsbury on November 23, with his last start seeing him sent off for the first time since 2015 during the 5-1 thrashing at Rotherham in October.
A knee ligament injury at the end of November meant he was sidelined when Alex Neil came in as manager in February and, even though he has been named as a substitute three times under the Scottish boss during the closing weeks of the campaign, he has not managed to get out onto the pitch and is now out of contract at the Stadium of Light.
