The 21-year-old was offered a new deal by the Black Cats after impressing boss Phil Parkinson during his tenure at the Stadium of Light so far.

Taylor made his first-team debut in the Checkatrade Trophy during the 2018/19 campaign, and went on to face Grimsby Town in the same competition last season.

He impressed Parkinson with his display as part of an injury-depleted side that lost 1-0 to Gillingham in the FA Cup last November.

Taylor said he was keen to try and earn more opportunities in the current campaign.

"I’m over the moon to sign a new contract at the club I’ve played for since the age of nine,” Taylor said.

“The manager gave me a taste of first-team football last season, so I’ll continue to work hard and hopefully I can earn more opportunities during the upcoming campaign.”
