Sunderland has announced the signing of attacking midfielder Bradley Dack.
Following a six-year tenure at Blackburn Rovers, Dack has committed to an initial one-year deal at Sunderland, with an option for the club to extend the contract for an additional year.
The 29-year-old Dack leaves Blackburn after making 173 appearances and scoring 57 goals.
Before his Blackburn days, he rose through the youth ranks at Gillingham, where he clocked 38 goals and 34 assists in 185 matches.
Dack’s successful career includes two-time EFL League One Player of the Year and PFA League One Player of the Year accolades.
His performances were instrumental in Blackburn Rovers’ promotion to the Championship in the 2017-18 season, where he also earned Blackburn’s Player of the Year.
Thrilled about his new journey, Dack shared, “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.”
Sunderland’s Sporting Director, Kristjaan Speakman, expressed his delight at Dack’s signing. ”
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.”
