English Premiership: South African ace Steven Pienaar joins Sunderland.

Steven Pienaar retired from International football in Oct 2, 2012.

Following Steven Pienaar's release from Everton, the midfielder has joined Sunderland on a one-year deal and could move straight into the squad for Sunday's derby against Middlesbrough.

The 34-year old was deemed surplus to requirement following the arrival of Ronald Koeman from Southampton.
