Wade Joyce

Wade Joyce

Wade is the son of former Hull City player Warren Joyce and signed for Sunderland in summer 2012.

The midfielder was originally at Manchester United as a youngster and also had a spell at Tranmere Rovers.

Wade then joined Bury in summer 2011 and featured regularly for the Shakers at reserve and youth level in 2011-12.

He was offered a trial by Sunderland and impressed the coaching staff enough to earn a full-time contract at the Stadium of Light.

Wade was born in Liverpool but is eligible for Wales and has previously been called up for under-19 duty only to be forced to withdraw through injury.
