Bailey Wright admits his frustration at his lack of gametime at Sunderland lay behind his deadline day move to Rotherham United. The Australia international defender has joined the Championship struggers on loan until the end of the season, and has spoken to the Millers official website about the reasons for his move.
Wright was a regular for the Black Cats last season as Sunderland won promotion from League One to the Championship via the play-offs. But this season the 30-year-old has started just six out of 28 league games and has more often found himself on the bench.
Wright is not the kind of player who is content to sit on the sidelines and that led him to seek a move away from Wearside this month, and Rotherham - who were promoted automatically from League One last season - came in for him within the last 24 hours. "I've not played as much football this season as I would have liked," said Wright.
