Aiden O’Brien excited by Sunderland challenge following Millwall release
Aiden O’Brien has signed a two-year contract with Sunderland.
Millwall released the attacker at the end of the 2019-20 season and he has quickly lined up his next challenge at Phil Parkinson’s League One side.
O’Brien told Sunderland’s website: “It feels terrific to be a Sunderland player. This is a massive club and I just can’t wait to get going.
“I love scoring goals, it’s what I live for and hopefully I can bring plenty to the team. I can’t express how excited I am, and I can’t wait to show the fans and my team-mates what I’m made of.”
Parkinson said: “I’m really pleased with the signing of Aiden.
Thanks for all the welcoming messages! Over the moon to sign for such a MASSIVE club, cannot wait to get started 🙏🏼🤝❤️ @SunderlandAFC pic.twitter.com/X27MS48dYI
