Sunderland have announced the loan departure of young defender Michael Ledger to Norwegian outfit Viking FK until the summer.
The 20-year-old has featured regularly for the Black Cats' Under-23s side this term but has been unable to break into the first-team reckoning under David Moyes.
After spending a short time on trial with Viking, Ledger has now been given the green light to link up with the Scandinavian club until the end of June.
Ledger, an unused sub for Sunderland in their 2-2 draw with Liverpool earlier this year, is due to be out of contract at the Stadium of Light in the summer.
Viking begin their league season with a meeting against Valerenga Fotball on April 3.
