Sunderland Star Gives ‘Legendary Shirt’ And ‘Legendary Stadium’ Verdict On Loan Club Bow

One of Sunderland’s loan stars has hailed making his debut for the club where he is on loan as being in a ‘legendary shirt’ and in a ‘legendary stadium’.

 

Regis Le Bris’ Sunderland suffered a surprise 3-2 defeat away at Plymouth Argyle on Saturday, but have still started the new Championship season well.

 

The club notably sanctioned the exit of Jack Clarke to Ipswich Town in a big money move, but the loan exit of midfielder Pierre Ekwah to Saint-Etienne also grabbed attention.

 

 

The Frenchman made 40 appearances in the Championship for Sunderland last term, but is now sinking his teeth into Ligue 1 with Saint-Etienne.

 

And Ekwah is delighted with what he has found so far, not least getting the chance to play for such a historic club in France.

 

 

“I had a really good feeling”, Ekwah said after his debut against Lille, via Foot Sur 7.

 

“It was really cool to make my first appearance here, in this legendary shirt, in a legendary stadium. 

 

 

“It was a really good feeling and we were able to kickstart the season with three points.”

 

Ekwah clocked the full 90 minutes in the home clash as Saint-Etienne ran out 1-0 winners, recording their first victory of the new Ligue 1 campaign.
