Finally the poor attempt at local journalism runs the story... https://www.sunderlandecho.com/spor...youngsters-ahead-of-pre-season-return-3263697
Think he just ran his contract down The move to USA was in the background and both sides agreed / accepted it was for the best
They may well be promoted but no chance LJ plays them. Just as bad as Parkinson for playing the youngsters.
Which suggests he wasn't good enough for our first team. Fort Lauderdale CF, which is essentially the reserve side for Inter Miami, play in the USL League 1, which is the third tier in the States. In comparison with the English league system, that's going to be quite low.
Well he had been released by Middlesborough and was only with us for a season, you may be right, but we will never know.
"as a member of the first team squad" Looks like the intention is for him to not go out on loan for now.
Nice to see another youngster having a bit of faith put in them, just need LJ to give them a chance with the first team. Young hungry players all day for me and not half arsed cast offs from other clubs.
