SUNDERLAND last night announced the termination of John Oster's contract.
The 25-year-old midfielder recently returned to the Stadium of Light after his loan deal at Leeds United was terminated following a breach of club rules.
Complaints had been made about the former Everton winger on Christmas Eve and Leeds boss Kevin Blackwell fined and suspended the player, before cutting short his loan spell at Elland Road.
Oster had already been arrested and formally cautioned by police on December 16 after being arrested on suspicion of assault following an incident outside a Durham nightclub.
And, after internal enquiries, Sunderland last night decided to end his career on Wearside.
