Sunderland announce Anthony Patterson signed long-term contract until 2026

Sunderland have confirmed Anthony Patterson has extended his contract until 2026. The North Shields native established himself as the Black Cats' number one at the back end of last season as the club secured promotion to the Championship.

Nine clean sheets in 21 games provided the bedrock for Alex Neil's side as they ended a four-year stint in League One. The news comes after Lee Burge will join Northampton Town when his current deal expires on July 1.
