Brian Brobbey extends Sunderland contract

Brian Brobbey has committed his long-term future to Sunderland after penning a new deal until the summer of 2031.

Sunderland signed the Dutch striker from Ajax in the summer transfer window of 2025, and the physical forward has quickly established himself as a fan-favourite at the Stadium of Light.

With 10 goals in 40 games and some memorable performances along the way, namely his winner against Newcastle United last season and his hat-trick at Manchester City back in September, Brobbey is ready for the next chapter of his Sunderland career buoyed by his new deal.

Following the news, Brobbey told Sunderland's media: “I’m really happy with the confidence the club has shown in me. Since I arrived, I’ve felt the ambition here, and I want to keep growing and improving as a player.

“Representing Sunderland in the Premier League is both an honour and a privilege.

"Having played my part in helping this club qualify for European competition is something I’m incredibly proud of. It’s an achievement that will always be part of the club’s history.

“I know I still can be a better version of myself, and that’s what motivates me every day. I want to score goals, help the team and give our fans something to be proud of.”
