Arrival | Patrick Almond joins on season-long loan from Sunderland

Blyth Spartans are pleased to announce the signing of Sunderland defender Patrick Almond on loan until the end of season.

Almond has been tipped by Johnson as a having a bright future after some impressive displays for Sunderland’s under-23s earlier in the campaign.

The defender’s arrival is the first signing for Mitchell since he joined the club in early December.
