DONE DEAL: Sunderland signs a bold, free-agent fantastic ace, but any team might take advantage of this because.

New Sunderland signing Rhys Walsh is a ‘fearless wide player’ who won’t be overawed by anyone, Sunderland Nation have been told.

The 17-year-old was a surprise deadline day arrival from Northern Irish side Glentoran and he will now be fast tracked into the Black Cats’ under-21s set-up.

Walsh was a player in demand with Sunderland having to battle other Championship clubs for his signature, but what can fans expect to see from him on the pitch?

“He’s a wide player, fearlessly plays on the front foot likes to stand players up and beat them,” Walsh’s agent Lee Mudd exclusively told Sunderland Nation.

“He has an art of being able to go either side using both feet – has been involved at senior level and thrived.”
