Rodwell joins Sunderland

Published: 05 August, 2014

OFFICIAL: Midfielder signs five-year contract.

Sunderland have completed the signing of midfielder Jack Rodwell from Barclays Premier League champions Manchester City.

The highly sought-after 23-year-old has penned a five-year deal on Wearside and joins for an undisclosed fee.

Rodwell rose through the ranks at Everton, making his debut at the age of 16 in a European tie against AZ Alkmaar in December 2007.

His league bow – as a substitute against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light – came three months later before the Southport-born midfielder went on to become a regular for the Toffees.

Rodwell, who has been capped on three occasions at senior level by England, made 109 appearances for Everton before joining Manchester City in summer 2012.

He spent two seasons at the Etihad Stadium, during which time he represented City in the UEFA Champions League as well as the Barclays Premier League and domestic cup competitions.

Without a photo with a scarf you'll find some on here will disbelieve you.
 
i tell you what having the pope as a fan really helps out, praise the ****ing lord! a signing to go straight into the first team!!!
 
A bit of quality and a step up from the players we have signed in the middle of the park in the past. Only young too. Well chuffed with this.
Just what we needed in the middle someone with some height and pace. I can see this being a perfect fit to play with either Catts or Bridcutt.
 
Let's just hope some of our fans don't demand 2 goals a game and him to beat everything and everybody.

Let's be optimistic but realistic. He is a very good player, we should be seeing some good football, great link play, through balls and hopefully some goals.

Really good signing, looking forward to seeing him play.
 
Great signing but methinks that's Deffo Alfie a gonna now.

I don't

Assuming Catts and Bridcutt will be used solely as DM's, we have: Alfie, Seb, Rodwell, Gomez and Giacc (who could be used mainly as a winger) to fill two cm's spots, I think he has a part to play & the fact Gus took him to Portugal supports that
