New Sunderland defender Adam Matthews has revealed that he cannot wait to begin his career in the Premier League following his move to the club.
The 23-year-old signed for the Black Cats in a £2m transfer from Scottish Premier League champions Celtic on a four-year deal.
"It's been very exciting. It happened really quickly which has been a bit of a shock," Matthews told the club's official website.
"Playing in the Premier League and in front of great fans and in a big stadium is something I'm looking forward to.
"Obviously, at Celtic I played in front of massive crowds and I'm sure they'll be just as good if not better here so I'm really looking forward to it."
Matthews has been capped 12 times at international level by Wales.
