"Neil, 24, helped the Wearsiders win promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs last season, making 47 league appearances and scoring twice. He has not been able to hold down a regular place in the top flight this term, playing only three games as a substitute, and he will leave Sunderland this summer when his contract expires. South Shields-born Neil made a total of 201 appearances for the Black Cats since making his debut in September 2020, and scored 12 goals."
"I've been at Sunderland for a very long time and it was an unbelievable chapter in my life and career but I'm ready for the next chapter now. After a lot of thought, it was clear Ipswich would be the perfect fit for that. The way the manager wants to play football and the way I like to play is the same, basically."
