Sunderland midfielder open to permanent move to Leeds
LIAM BRIDCITT has admitted it is time to "move on from Sunderland" as he looks to rejoin Leeds this month.
Liam Bridcutt hopes to rejoin Leeds before the January window shuts
Bridcutt joined the Black Cats from Brighton two years ago, but he has not made a single appearance for the Premier League strugglers this season.
The 26-year-old joined Championship outfit Leeds on loan in November, a deal which expired after Saturday's 1-1 draw with MK Dons.
But Bridcutt is hopeful he can return to Elland Road and add to the eight appearances he has made for Steve Evans' side.
"I think it's about time for me to move on from Sunderland now and I'm ready for a new challenge.
"Game time is the most important thing for me. The manager has been brilliant with me, he's given me a great opportunity to come here and play.
"I'm happy and you can see in the way that I'm playing that I'm back to my normal self."
