Sunderland sign Coventry City goalkeeper Simon Moore

Moore played in the Premier League with Sheffield United after being a regular in the team that was promoted from League One to the Championship in 2017.

He also has extensive league experience with Brentford, Cardiff City and Bristol City, the latter on loan.

Football director Kristjaan Speakman told the club website, external: “This summer, we felt it was vital to identify and recruit a goalkeeper who is capable of pushing Anthony Patterson daily, and who has additional qualities to training and match environments.

“Simon has a different profile to many players within our group and he is as motivated to push Anthony as he is to help our younger goalkeepers and the wider player group.”
