In a statement the club said: “Sunderland AFC can confirm that Donald Love has left the club.

“Everyone at SAFC would like to wish Donald the very best for the future.”

Jack Ross has stated in recent weeks that the club would have to move players on before they could sign fresh faces.

As reported by the Echo, Love signed for League One rivals Shrewsbury after his Stadium of Light departure.
