Sunderland have confirmed the signing of the teenage midfielder David Meyler from Cork City.
The 19-year-old Irishman has put pen to paper on a three-year deal and could make his debut for the Black Cats against Cobh Ramblers in his home country on Monday. Meyler follows his former team-mate Roy O'Donovan from Turner's Cross to the Stadium of Light.
Meyler, who has joined for an undisclosed fee, understood to be in the region of £160,000, said: "My ambition is to break into the first team as soon as I can. Roy Keane is a legend where I come from. Everyone grew up watching him play, and that included me. He's given me a great opportunity here with Sunderland and obviously I will hopefully repay him. "
