Arrival | Spellman arrives on loan from Sunderland

Blyth Spartans are delighted to confirm the signing of Sunderland forward Michael Spellman on loan until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old joined the Black Cats this summer from Wearside League side Chester Le Street United after coming through the Park View Academy.

Spellman has had a taste of first-team action so far this season for the Black Cats, coming on as a substitute in Sunderland's League Cup tie away to Sheffield Wednesday.

The youngster also had a brief spell on loan at Whitby Town in October, scoring once in his four appearances for the Seasiders.
