Morpeth Town have announced the arrival of Sunderland U19s defender Connor Pye on an initial one-month loan deal.

Pye joined the Black Cats in August 2022 for an undisclosed fee.

He had previously featured at academy level for Morecambe and Wigan Athletic, signing a professional deal with the former and making his first team debut in the Papa John’s Trophy.

Pye will go straight into the Morpeth squad ahead of tonight’s game at home to Liversedge.
