The wideman, who top-scored for the Black Cats during their first term in League One, has agreed a new deal which will keep him on Wearside until 2021.

McGeady's initial deal was set to expire in the summer of 2020 and reports had suggested he was attracting interest from the MLS.

But the former Celtic and Everton man has now put any speculation regarding his future to rest having agreed to extend his stay at the Stadium of Light.

Initially signed by Simon Grayson in 2017, McGeady flourished in the third tier and netted 15 times - including twice at Wembley in the Checkatrade Trophy final.
