Sunderland make Young call as Speakman outlines next steps

Young made 27 appearances across all competitions for the League Two club last season, and Sunderland believe that returning to a familiar environment will boost his development.

Sunderland say Young will keep in regular contact with the senior group and that they have a 'clear' idea of his pathway after the upcoming campaign.

Sporting director Kristjaan Speakman said: "We're really pleased with Matty's progress to date, and we've taken our time to ensure his plan for next season is appropriate.

"Salford is an environment we are all familiar with and one where Matty can focus on his performances without distraction or unknowns.
