Sunderland hopeful on Bailey Wright future with defender set to stay on Wearside

Bailey Wright is expected to re-sign for Sunderland despite interest from clubs in his native Australia, according to reports.

More than two A-League clubs are interested in bringing him back to his homeland but Wright has decided that it’s not the right time to return Down Under.

The defender was offered a new deal after Sunderland secured their return to the Championship last month. Lynden Gooch and Patrick Roberts have already put pen to paper by signing news contracts and Wright is expected to follow suit with his current contract set to expire on July 1.

The 29-year-old, who recently guided Australia to qualification for this year’s World Cup with a narrow win over Peru, will return to Wearside in the next couple of weeks to sign a new deal.
