Aaron Connolly, released from Hull City this summer, has officially signed a one-year deal with Sunderland. Excited to join the Black Cats, the Republic of Ireland international took to Instagram to introduce himself to the Sunderland supporters.
Despite scoring eight goals in 28 appearances for Hull City last season, the club chose not to renew Connolly’s contract. However, his form caught the eye of Sunderland, giving him the opportunity to showcase his talents at Championship level.
In his first message to Sunderland fans on Instagram, Connolly expressed his joy at joining the club and is eager to get to work. Speaking on the club’s website, he shared his gratitude for the chance to represent Sunderland and is determined to prove himself on the pitch.
Sunderland’s sporting director, Kristjaan Speakman, believes Connolly has the potential to add value to the squad immediately. With an injury ruling out another forward, Connolly could play a crucial role in the team’s upcoming matches.
As the number two striker behind the current starter, Connolly has the chance to make an impact and contribute to Sunderland’s success. With determination and focus, he could be a valuable asset to the team’s attacking lineup.
