Wright joined Sunderland from Bristol City, initially on loan, before signing permanently in 2020.

The Australia international, 30, made a total of 107 appearances, helping them win promotion from League One and the EFL Trophy in 2020-21.

"I've loved my time and I've had some incredible experiences," he said.
