JONES JOINED HOMETOWN CLUB AS A BOY - AND WENT WITH THEM TO WEMBLEY

- By CLIVE YOULTON Football writer clive.youlton@reachplc.com

'My dream came true'

SUNDERLAND midfielder Harrison Jones has described the club's promotion to the Premier League as, “everything I dreamed of as a kid.”

It was a landmark season that saw the 20-year-old academy graduate break into the first team.

Jones made six senior appearances during the 2024/25 campaign, having started the season with the U21s. His consistent attitude and performances in training caught the attention of the senior staff, and his gradual integration into the first team squad became one of the quiet success stories of the club's promotion push.

He told safc.com: “I started the season focused on improving with the U21s, but every time I trained with the first team, I gave absolutely everything.

“I didn’t know where it would lead, but I just wanted to be ready.”
