Keane in no rush to sign new deal

SUNDERLAND boss Roy Keane will put discussions over his long-term future to the back of his mind as he seeks the extra “steel” required to move his club up the Premier League.

Keane expressed satisfaction with his side’s gutsy 1-1 draw at Wigan on Saturday, then said talk of signing a contract extension at the Stadium of Light was the last thing on his mind.

Keane confirmed: “There have been one or two discussions but my contract situation is not really important this time. The priority is bringing players in and building the team.
