Ron-Thorben Hoffman has sent his goodbyes to Sunderland fans after the young goalkeeper has returned to Germany following his loan period from Bayern Munich. The 23-year-old said it had been 'a big honor (sic)' to have played for the club.
On his Instagram account, the goalkeeper wrote: "Dear SAFC supporters, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for everything you’ve done for me and for us as a team this season. It was such a crazy year but we finished the season with the promotion.
"I am proud that I played my part and helped the club to get out of that league. It was a big honor to wear the Sunderland shirt! From now on I will support the club on their way back to the top. All the best and a big big thank you again!"
