Former West Bromwich Albion fullback Billy Jones has enjoyed his first weeks with Sunderland.
Jones featured in the 1-0 defeat to CD Nacional in Albufeira - his third pre-season appearance - and says he's quickly adjusting to life on Wearside.
"I felt we played some good football and controlled the ball well," he told safc.com.
"We created some chances - the one I had I should have scored from. We kept the ball and played well."
