Bolo Zenden has committed himself to another year at Sunderland by signing a new contract.

The 33-year-old Dutchman, who joined the club on a free transfer from Marseille last summer, has put pen to paper on a 12-month deal.

Manager Steve Bruce said: "I'm delighted Bolo has agreed to stay with us.

"He has played at the top level for a long time and has a wealth of experience which is so valuable both on and off the pitch.

"He has a great influence on his team-mates, and that is vital when you are bringing through the promising young players that we are."
