Sunderland could pick up David Meyler on a free transfer, as the Hull City midfielder’s contract is set to expire.

David Meyler of Hull City shoots to score a penalty during the Sky Bet Championship match between Hull City and Birmingham City at KCOM Stadium on September 30, 2017 in Hull, England.

Sunderland supporters have urged David Meyler to return, after he announced he was leaving Hull City at the end of the season.

Meyler is set to become a free agent in the coming weeks, as he seeks a new club.

And Sunderland fans are eager to see Meyler return to the Stadium of Light.

Meyler spent five years at Sunderland during his younger years, after being snapped up from Cork City.

The midfielder made just 31 appearances during his time at Sunderland, but that was at a time when the Black Cats were playing Premier League football.

Sunderland have now sunk all the way into League One, and Meyler could be a much better option for them.

The 28-year-old has proven himself to be a reliable performer for Hull in recent years, and could offer Sunderland some much needed experience and leadership next term.

The Black Cats are having to shop on a budget, following their relegation, and Meyler could tick all the boxes for them as they look to put together a squad capable of earning promotion.
