Premiership strugglers Sunderland have signed midfielder Rory Delap from Championship side Southampton on a free transfer, reports BBC Radio Newcastle. Delap, who has been capped 11 times by the Republic of Ireland, has signed a two-and-a-half year deal at Sunderland.
The 29-year-old was Saints' record signing when he joined the club from Derby County for �4m in July 2001.
However, he would not have featured against Middlesbrough on Tuesday anyway because of an Achilles injury.
