Lewis Grabban returns to Bournemouth after ending Sunderland loan

Striker Lewis Grabban has cut short his season-long loan move to Sky Bet Championship club Sunderland and has returned to Bournemouth.

The Black Cats revealed that the 29-year-old no longer wants to play for the north-east side and as a result the clubs have mutually agreed to cancel the loan agreement.

Sunderland manager Chris Coleman told his club's official website: "Throughout my time at the football club I have continually reiterated that I only wish to work with players who want to be here and work hard for Sunderland.

"Lewis informed us of his desire to leave and we wish him well.
