Former Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole has signed for Eredivisie club VVV-Venlo after a successful trial.
The midfielder, whose long association with Sunderland came to an end in the close-season, has penned a one-year-deal.
He told VVV’s official website: “The club arrived at the right time. For me it offers a new chance. I am therefore very happy that after so many seasons in England I can now work in the Netherlands at a beautiful Eredivisie club such as VVV-Venlo.
“With my experience I can contribute to the development of this young team. I want to move forward with VVV.”
