Carlos Cuéllar joins Sunderland on a free to link up with O'Neill

• Spaniard's contract with Aston Villa expired at the weekend
• O'Neill signed the defender for £7.8m when at Villa in 2008

Sunderland's manager, Martin O'Neill, has signed the free agent Carlos Cuéllar on a two-year deal. The 30-year-old Spaniard's contract with Aston Villa expired at the weekend.

Cuéllar will be reunited with O'Neill, who signed the defender for £7.8m in 2008 when in charge of Villa.

The Spaniard, who previously played for Osasuna and Rangers, appeared 94 times for Villa but was not a regular in the starting line-up last season. He can play at right-back or in central defence.

Sunderland start their Premier League campaign against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on 18 August. Read More
