Sunderland AFC are pleased to confirm the signing of Ugonna Emenike.
The 18-year-old has put pen to paper on a deal until the end of the season and will link-up with Mike Dodds and Michael Proctor’s Under-23 side.
A left-sided defender, Emenike joins the Lads following a successful trial period in which he featured seven times.
After signing a deal on Wearside, Emenike said: “I am delighted to be joining a club with the stature of Sunderland. I have had a few games on trial here and it’s been good to get those under my belt with my new teammates and coaches. It’s an honour to be playing here and I’m looking forward to focusing on helping the team for the rest of the season.”
