Sunderland academy coaches impressed by Caribbean trialists

Sunderland academy coach Carlton Fairweather is impressed by the Caribbean talent they've been trialling.

Sunderland have had 37 youngsters from the region training with the Academy.

Fairweather told safc.com: "It is really good. Around the world, they would compete well with players their age. The only thing they need to work on is that self-discipline, the willingness to go that extra mile - not just for themselves but for their team. And if we can develop that, it can only be beneficial for football in the region as a whole."
