Midfielder George Honeyman has penned a new two-year contract with Sunderland.
The 22-year-old, who came through the youth system at Sunderland, made five Premier League appearances during the 2016-17 campaign.
A number of players are expected to leave the Stadium of Light this summer following the club's relegation to the Championship, but Honeyman has been handed a fresh deal by the Black Cats.
"Sunderland midfielder George Honeyman has put pen to paper on a new two-year contract. Honeyman has progressed through the club's youth ranks, initially joining the academy at just 10 years old," read a statement on the club's official website.
Sunderland only collected 24 points from 38 games during the 2016-17 Premier League campaign, with that total seeing them relegated to the Championship in 20th position.
