Trai Hume outlines Sunderland's Premier League ambition after signing new deal

Sunderland defender Trai Hume is hoping the Black Cats can go one better than this season and secure a return to the Premier League after signing a new deal at the Stadium of Light. The 21-year-old defender has signed a new four-year contract to take his stay on Wearside through to the summer of 2027.

The versatile defender arrived from Linfield for an undisclosed fee back in January 2022 and was made to bide his time to break into the starting XI. Hume took his chance around Christmas and featured in every Sunderland game from Boxing Day through to the end of the season.

Hume told SAFC.com: "Obviously I'm over the moon and happy to sign a new deal. After the season we all had as a team, I felt being offered a new deal from the staff was a good sign that they wanted to keep me here and I want to play. I'm delighted.
