Sunderland snapped up striker James Vaughan from Bury yesterday.

New Sunderland striker James Vaughan has posted a message on social media website Twitter expressing his delight about his move to the Stadium of Light.

Vaughan joined Sunderland yesterday, with the Black Cats getting a deal over the line late last night.

Vaughan had impressed Sunderland’s scouts with his performances in League One last term.

The former Everton man scored 26 goals in the third tier last season, and Sunderland boss Simon Grayson felt he was ready to make a step up.

And Vaughan was delighted to make the move to Wearside.

Vaughan could go straight into Sunderland’s starting line-up, as Grayson currently has a lack of forward options.

The departures of Fabio Borini and Jermain Defoe have left Grayson’s striking options limited.

Vaughan was one of two transfers which Sunderland competed yesterday, with Aiden McGeady also joining.
