Sunderland boss Roy Keane has made a surprise move to sign veteran goalkeeper Nick Colgan on a one-year contract.
The 34-year-old Irishman ended last season with Ipswich Town, having previously enjoyed successful spells with Barnsley and Hibernian.
Colgan told his new club's official website: "It's a huge challenge which I'm really looking forward to.
"I got the call from Roy Keane and he gave me 24 hours to think about it, but I think it took me about 24 seconds to decide.
"He told me he wants to carry a good squad of goalkeepers and it's my job to bring my experience to the other keepers and to add some pressure on them and keep them on their toes.
"I'm looking forward to getting started."
