Jermain Defoe has completed his move to Sunderland.

The 32-year-old forward has switched from North American team Toronto, with American striker Jozy Altidore going the other way as part of the deal.

Former Tottenham and West Ham hitman Defoe has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract at the Stadium of Light.
