Sunderland exit confirmed

Cirkin will leave Sunderland as a free agent following the conclusion of the 2025-26 campaign after five years at the club, the club announced.

Analysis: Cirkin made 120 appearances during his time on Wearside, contributing to the club's journey from the third tier to the top flight. The left-back was part of multiple promotion campaigns and established himself as a reliable presence on that side of the defense throughout his five-year stay. His departure brings to a close an important part of his early career at a club that experienced significant growth during his time there.
