Sunderland AFC is delighted to announce the signing of Bradley Dack.
The attacking midfielder arrives on Wearside following a six-year spell at Blackburn Rovers, signing an initial one-year deal with a Club option of an additional year.
Dack made 173 appearances during his time at Ewood Park, including 33 last season, and he scored 57 goals and contributed 34 assists.
Prior to joining Rovers, the 29-year-old progressed through Gillingham's youth ranks before registering 38 goals and 34 assists in 185 appearances for the Kent-based Club.
Dack's decade-long association with the Gills also included a brief loan spell at Braintree Town, with the midfielder returning to Priestfield Stadium to be part of the Club's 2012-13 promotion-winning side.
A two-time EFL League One Player of the Year and PFA League One Player of the Year, he was also named Blackburn's Player of the Year after firing the Club to promotion to the Championship alongside Tony Mowbray in 2017-18.
After arriving on Wearside, Dack said: “It feels brilliant to be here. It’s clear to see the Club is on an upwards trajectory and it’s great to be on board. To play in front of 40,000 people every week at the Stadium of Light was a huge pull for me, there’s not many teams in England can produce those numbers. I hope my experience and style of play can add something different to the group, and I can’t wait to pull on the shirt for the first time.”
Sporting Director Kristjaan Speakman added: "We are delighted to welcome Bradley to Sunderland AFC. He’s an attacking midfielder with different qualities to others we have within the squad, and we feel he can add a different dimension to our team. He brings a wealth of experience, but also a personality that can help us on and off the field. It’s great to welcome him to the Club and to see him so excited by the opportunity this move represents.”
