SUNDERLAND have allowed experienced midfielder Graham Kavanagh to join Sheffield Wednesday on a month's loan.

The Republic of Ireland international will make his debut in the Championship fixture with Hull City on Saturday.

And Owls boss Brian Laws has confirmed the switch has taken place. He said: "Iam delighted Graham has decided to join us because several other clubs were interested in him."

The former Cardiff and Wigan man, who only joined the Black Cats 13 months ago, has joined Wednesday until the end of October.
