Manchester City striker Benjani Mwaruwari hopes to kickstart career at Sunderland.

Zimbabwe striker Benjani is hoping he can force his way into the Sunderland team.

He said: "It was difficult for me at Manchester City. As a player you want to play games of football so I'm very happy to be at Sunderland now.

"Lets hope I get many more games for Sunderland than I got for Manchester City.

"Sunderland is a good club - when you are not playing and another Premier League team approaches, it is a perfect fit.

"Coming here will give me more of a chance to play."
