Roberts completes thrill 'ride' to Premier League

Patrick Roberts has said he has loved the ride that has taken him from League One to the Premier League with Sunderland.

Roberts came off the bench in the play-off final and set up Eliezer Mayenda's equaliser as the Black Cats came from a goal down to beat Sheffield United to promotion.

Having arrived on Wearside in January 2022, the 28-year-old winger has now enjoyed two promotion wins at Wembley in four seasons.

"It's a great day and especially for me personally," he told BBC Radio Newcastle.

"It's been a good ride with this club and to get back to the Premier League, I'm very grateful.
