Sunderland have just two league games remaining this season – with some members of their squad nearing the end of their contracts.
The Black Cats have managed to agree long-term deals with several players over the last year, but will have to make decisions regarding those nearing the end of their current contracts. Sunderland under-21s boss Graeme Murty has said most decisions have been made and conveyed to players in his group – some of whom have been part of the senior set-up this season.
Sunderland have triggered a one-year option in Harrison Jones’ contract, meaning the attacking midfielder, who has impressed for the under-21s side this season, will remain at the club next season.
Here’s a list of Sunderland’s senior players, including those out on loan, and when their deals are set to expire:
