“Sunderland AFC is delighted to announce that Brian Brobbey has signed a new long-term contract, committing his future to the Club until 2031,” the club announced on Tuesday, November 3.

Speaking after putting pen to paper, Brobbey expressed his happiness with the club's confidence in him and revealed his determination to become a better player.

“I’m really happy with the confidence the club has shown in me. Since I arrived, I’ve felt the ambition here, and I want to keep growing and improving as a player,” he said.

The Dutch-born Ghanaian also said that playing for Sunderland in the Premier League is a great honour, adding that he is proud to have helped the club achieve success.

“Representing Sunderland in the Premier League is both an honour and a privilege. Having played my part in helping this club qualify for European competition is something I’m incredibly proud of. It’s an achievement that will always be part of the club’s history.”

Brobbey added that he is determined to take his game to another level, score more goals and continue making Sunderland supporters proud.
