SUNDERLAND have completed the signing of left-back Reece James on a free transfer.
James, who was released by Wigan Athletic at the end of last season, has signed a one-year deal at the Stadium of Light.
The 24-year-old spent three years with Wigan, during which time he helped the club win two League One titles.
He made 28 appearances for the Latics last season, as Paul Cook’s side pipped rivals Blackburn Rovers to the third-tier title and sealed an instant return to the Championship.
The defender becomes Jack Ross’ sixth summer signing, joining Alim Ozturk, Jon McLaughlin, Chris Maguire, Tom Flanagan and Dylan McGeouch at the Stadium of Light.

Sunderland AFC has completed the signing of youth player Jordan Hunter.
The midfielder arrives at the Stadium of Light, signing on a free transfer after leaving Liverpool following the end of the 2017-18 season.
Hunter, 18, will join up Elliott Dickman’s under-23s, as the development side’s pre-season continues.
Upon arriving at the Academy of Light the youngster couldn’t hide his delight: "I’m so excited to be here, I really can’t wait to get started.
"I’ve met a few of the lads already and I was straight into training this morning, it’s been a real whirlwind," he added.
"I’m hoping to do well for the under-23s this season and I’d like to eventually push on and give Jack Ross something to think about when he comes to picking the team."
