Sunderland fans are delighted after it was confirmed by the club that George Dobson has departed the Stadium of Light by mutual consent.

The Black Cats are preparing for an assault on promotion after narrowly missing out last term. So far, though, they have not made a single signing, with plenty of players instead departing such as Josh Scowen, Max Power and Grant Leadbitter (The Northern Echo).

Charlie Wyke, meanwhile, looks to be on the verge of a move to Celtic (Football Insider).

Now, Dobson has also departed (safc.com). Signed in 2019 from Walsall, the midfielder made 47 appearances for the club but spent last term on loan at Wimbledon (Transfermarkt). It hasn't taken him long to find a new club, though - he has joined Sunderland's League One promotion rivals Charlton Athletic.

The news was shared on Twitter by Sunderland's official account, and it attracted plenty of attention from the supporters. They took to the social media platform to share their thoughts.
