New contract for Nosworthy

Sunderland have handed defender Nyron Nosworthy a new two-year contract.
Nosworthy, 26, looked to be on his way out of the Stadium of Light earlier in the season with his contract set to expire in the summer.
But the former Gillingham defender has impressed Black Cats boss Roy Keane and earned himself a new deal.
"I'm very happy to extend my contract and hope I can keep playing well to maybe get another one," he told the club's official website.
Nosworthy has formed a solid central defensive partnership with on-loan Manchester United youngster Jonny Evans in recent months.
He has made over 50 appearances for the Black Cats since arriving in the north east two years ago.
