Roy O'Donovan hopes to stay with Sunderland.

"This is a big summer for me, we have a new manager and it's a new start," the Irish striker said. "We will see what happens over the coming weeks, but I am determined to be here for pre-season so I can show the new manager what I can do.

"I haven't spoken to the new manager yet, so none of the players really know what his intentions are in the short term, but I have a year left here at Sunderland and I am keen to make an impression next season."
