Doncaster weigh up loan move for Sunderland striker

Doncaster are one of two Championship clubs currently weighing up a loan move for out-of-favour Sunderland striker David Healy.

The Northern Ireland international has just returned from Doncaster following a productive two-month loan spell, but they now face competition from an unnamed Championship club for his services.

Healy, 31, is his country's record goalscorer but has found his chances at Sunderland limited since joining them in 2008.

The striker has never started a Premier League match for the Black Cats and also lost his place in the Northern Ireland first team following the emergence of Rangers forward Kyle Lafferty.

But he looks set to end his nightmare spell in the north-east by completing a loan move later this week, which will be with a view to a permanent deal in the summer.
