Titus Bramble wants new deal

Sunderland defender Titus Bramble has revealed that he would "happily" sign a new contract with the Premier League club.

The 31-year-old has started all but one match for the Black Cats this year, but his current deal expires at the end of the season.

The centre-back had been linked with a move away from the club in the January transfer window, but he has revealed a desire to remain at the Stadium of Light.

"In football you never know what is going to happen. I know I was linked with QPR but I am not focused on that. Sunderland is my team and that is who I am playing for. I will give 100% for Sunderland and that's all I care about," he told The Journal.

"It's up to the manager and the directors. I will happily sign a new contract here but it's out of my hands. I just have to play well and who knows? What happens in the summer, happens in the summer. I am happy and settled here."

Bramble joined Sunderland from Wigan Athletic in 2010.
