Sunderland have completed the signing of centre-back Jimmy Dunne, with the 21-year-old joining on loan from Burnley for the rest of the season.

Jack Ross had been keen to strengthen his options in defence and the Black Cats have moved quickly to secure a deal for the highly-rated Dunne, with the club confirming his arrival on their official site this evening.

An Ireland U21 international, he impressed whilst on loan with Hearts for the first part of the season and has also enjoyed a successful loan spell with Accrington Stanley in the past.

And, it's fair to say that Sunderland supporters were pleased with the latest deal done by the club.
