Sunderland have confirmed Grant Leadbitter and Carlos Edwards have joined Ipswich Town.

The midfield pair were made available for transfer by the Wearsiders' manager Steve Bruce, after he strengthened his midfield over the summer with the acquisitions of Lorik Cana and Lee Cattermole.

Leadbitter and Edwards will now be reunited with former Sunderland manager Roy Keane at Portman Road.

The former has moved for a fee which could reach £2.6m, while Edwards has joined in a deal which could reach £1.35m.
