Sunderland have completed the signing of Charlton Athletic midfielder Andy Reid on a three-and-a-half-year deal worth up to £4 million.

The 25-year-old former Tottenham Hotspur star put pen-to-paper on the final day of the January transfer window and will go straight into the Black Cats squad for this weekend's trip to Anfield to face Liverpool.

"Andy brings added quality to our side in an area that I feel needed to be strengthened," said Sunderland manager Roy Keane.

"It's always healthy to have competition for places in the squad. I'm sure he'll do well for the club."

Republic of Ireland international Reid is the club's fifth signing of the midseason transfer window following the arrivals of Jonny Evans, Phil Bardsley, Rade Prica and Jean-Yves M'voto at the Stadium of Light since the turn of the year.

He has been in good form in the Championship for the Addicks this season, scoring six goals in his 22 appearances and is expected to assist the Wierside outfit in their battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
