Amad played a leading role in Sunderland securing a spot in the Championship playoffs, scoring 13 goals and providing three assists in the second tier of English football.
The Ivorian will now be bidding to help his loan club negotiate their playoff semi-final against Luton Town ahead of a potential final against either Middlesbrough or Coventry City.

The report claims that the youngster has been invited to attend the FA Cup final against Manchester City at the start of June, and he has already had a suit reserved for the occasion.
Man United allegedly keen for Amad 'to feel involved as possible', as he is set to be given the chance to impress Red Devils head coach Erik ten Hag during the team's preparations for the 2023-24 campaign.
Amad had only made five first-team appearances for Atalanta BC before he arrived at Old Trafford in January 2021.
The Ivory Coast international has featured on nine occasions for Man United's first team, scoring once and providing one assist.

The youngster also had a loan spell at Rangers in the second half of the 2021-22 campaign, scoring three goals in 13 appearances for the Scottish giants.
Amad has featured in a number of positions for Sunderland during the current season, including an attacking midfielder, centre-forward and a second striker.
However, the majority of his football has come as a right-sided attacker, which is the position that is currently occupied by Antony at Old Trafford.
There are expected to be a number of attacking changes at Man United this summer, with Wout Weghorst set to return to parent club Burnley, Anthony Martial expected to leave on a permanent basis, and Anthony Elanga and Facundo Pellistri potentially departing on loan.
