Anthony Patterson: Sunderland goalkeeper signs new long-term contract

Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson has signed a new contract aimed at keeping him at the club until 2028.

The England Under-21 international has become a regular for the Black Cats since the 2021-22 season, when he helped them to win promotion to the Championship from League One.

Patterson played in all 46 of Sunderland's league fixtures last term.

Sporting director Kristjaan Speakman said Patterson's long-term deal was a "real statement" by the club.

"He's establishing himself as one of the best young English goalkeepers," Speakman added.

"We have confidence in him and his ability to further improve, and equally he has confidence in us, which I feel is important.
