It’s official! Sunderland goalkeeper Alex Bass has signed a three-year deal with the club, stirring excitement among fans. The 26-year-old arrives for an undisclosed fee after a stellar loan season with AFC Wimbledon in 2023-24.
According to Richard Montague, a board member and head of recruitment, Bass was not only the standout goalkeeper in League Two last season but also ranks highly among League One goalkeepers. Montague expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Alex to Meadow Lane. Alongside our new defensive signings, Matty Platt and Jacob Bedeau, he’s a commanding presence who will help us address the defensive challenges we faced last season.”
Montague added, “He’s a fantastic shot-stopper, having kept 16 clean sheets last season, and he brings considerable EFL experience at the age of 26. His abilities on the ball are crucial for our style of play, and we believe he has a lot to offer.”
Bass’s remarkable performance for Wimbledon saw him make 44 league appearances, earning widespread acclaim from supporters. He narrowly missed out on the League Two Golden Glove award to Stockport’s Ben Hinchliffe.
A product of Portsmouth’s academy, Bass made 18 League One appearances there before moving permanently to Sunderland. He also has 22 League Two appearances from loan spells with Bradford City and Southend United under his belt.
The future looks bright for Alex Bass at Meadow Lane, and fans look forward to watching him achieve great things with the team.
