Prica scored once in just six appearances for Sunderland

Sunderland have allowed striker Rade Prica to join Norwegian side Rosenborg for an undisclosed fee.

The 28-year-old Sweden international held talks over the weekend and has clinched a move in time for Saturday's season-opener against Valerenga.

Prica played six times for the Black Cats, all of them as sub, after a �2m switch from Aalborg in January, 2008.

"Things didn't quite work out for Rade here, but he was professional around the place," said boss Ricky Sbragia.

"He also made a significant contribution with a crucial goal at home to Birmingham. We wish him all the very best with Rosenborg."

That goal against Birmingham came under former boss Roy Keane last January, helping Sunderland to a 2-0 win that helped them towards survival in the Premier League last term.

However, Prica has not made a single appearance for the Wearsiders this season.
