Sunderland defender Adam Matthews has proven his worth with a series of strong performances this term.
Adam Matthews has suggested that he wants to stay at Sunderland, as reported by the Sunderland Echo, and Jack Ross’ side should now be prepared to offer him a new contract.
Matthews has been with Sunderland for both their relegations, and his previous appearances for the Black Cats have been highly questionable.
However, this season, Matthews has really improved and started to prove his worth.
The full-back has been one of Sunderland’s unsung heroes, as they have climbed into the League One automatic promotion spaces.
Matthews already has four assists to his name from full-back this term, and his defensive work has also been solid.
The former Celtic man has played his part in helping Sunderland go an impressive unbeaten run, which has now stretched for 10 matches across all competitions.
And his form should be rewarded with a new deal, as Matthews only has months remaining on his current contract at Sunderland.
