Sunderland have signed teenage defender Ugonna Emenike following a successful spell on trial with the Wearsiders' U23 side. Eminike, who previously played for Isthmian League side Letherhead, has played seven games for Sunderland's U23 team and will link up with Mike Dodds and Michael Proctor's squad until the end of the season.
The 18-year-old has played in both central defence and at left-back during his time with Sunderland. "I am delighted to be joining a club with the stature of Sunderland," said Emenike.
"I have had a few games on trial here and it's been good to get those under my belt with my new teammates and coaches. "It's an honour to be playing here and I'm looking forward to focusing on helping the team for the rest of the season."
