Tom Flanagan has left Sunderland to make a deadline day move to Shrewsbury Town.
The Northern Ireland international defender, who was in the final six months of his contract on Wearside, has joined the Shrews on a permanent basis and has signed a two-and-a-half year deal at the New Meadow.
Flanagan's departure comes as something of a surprise as he has been a regular for the Black Cats this season, starting 25 of their 29 League One games so far, alongside on-loan Manchester City teenager Callum Doyle.
