Sunderland players Matty Young and Harrison Jones are set to be offered new deals by the club, The Echo has learned.
Young, 17, spent most of the second half of 2023-24 on loan at National League North side Darlington under former Newcastle United man Steve Watson. The England youth international cemented himself as Darlo’s number one despite his young age and helped the club avoid relegation with a miraculous end-of-season run.
Young’s strong performances in non-league have prompted serious loan interest from clubs up and down the country. The Echo understands that fourth-tier club Notts County’s reported keenness on the goalkeeper is genuine. It is also understood that three other League Two teams have enquired about signing the shot-stopper alongside high-profile teams in the National League.
