Alex Pritchard leaves Sunderland

Well, Alex Pritchard has left Sunderland for good. The former Tottenham Hotspur attacking midfielder has joined Championship rivals Birmingham City. The Black Cats have received less than £500,000 in transfer fees, as we reported on HITC.

Pritchard, who came through the Tottenham youth system and played for the first team before moving to Norwich City in 2016, joined Sunderland in the summer of 2021.

The attacking midfielder was very successful during his time at the Stadium of Light. He scored nine goals in 115 matches for the Black Cats and helped them win promotion from League One in 2022.

One of the reasons why Sunderland reached the Championship playoffs last season was because of Pritchard. The 30-year-old scored four goals and gave seven assists in 30 Championship starts.

Pritchard’s contract with Sunderland was due to run out at the end of the season. He has put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half-year deal and will be reunited with his former Black Cats manager Tony Mowbray.
