Sunderland have added two new signings to bolster the club's U21 squad. Left-back Connor Pye has joined for an undisclosed fee from League One Morecambe, while defensive midfielder Tom Chiabi has arrived after leaving Cardiff City over the summer.
The teenagers have both signed two-year deals on Wearside, with the club having the option to extend either player's stay by a further 12 months. Pye, 18, made his senior debut for Morecambe in the EFL trophy in August last year, while 19-year-old Chiabi came through the ranks at Millwall before joining Cardiff.
"It's a dream come true to sign for a club like Sunderland," said Pye. "I spent a lot of time with the first team at Morecambe over the past 12 months, which I feel will stand me in good stead here moving forward.
