“We’ve brought Lafferty in and we’ve got Charlie, Griggy and McNulty, so we’re starting to build some good competition at that top end.”
Parkinson, meanwhile, confirmed that the Black Cats would resume their hunt to bring in new faces in the early part of next week.
“We’re more or less set in terms of players we want to bring in,” he added.
“I wouldn’t imagine over the weekend, but we’ll be working on things early next week.”
