Sunderland have allowed Jack Diamond to join League One Lincoln City on loan for the remainder of the season. The 22-year-old academy graduate has been constantly linked with a loan move away from Wearside since the summer, but previous boss Alex Neil was waiting to see how the club's transfer business developed before making a decision.
But less than 24 hours after Neil's departure to take over at Stoke City was confirmed last night, Sunderland have decided to loan him out to the Imps. Diamond had spent two of the last three seasons on loan at Harrogate Town, helping the club win promotion from the National League in 2020 and then going back there last season in League Two.
"It's great to get it over the line," said Diamond, of his move to Sincil Bank. "The whole process has been a long time coming and I can't wait to get started.
