Sydney bling have run out of cash to pay him so he's bolted to save himself of a massive paycut.
Looks like it could be Melbourne and Adelaide this season

Goodbye Yorke! He better train hard and play (football) hard, he knows what Keano is like and he wont tolerate any crap.
Big loss for the Bling though.

You'd be very wrong there. Many nightclubs and even more pubs in Sunderland. Not only in the city itself, but Newcastle is also 10 miles away with more choices as well.
Yes I have spent 6 months in the fair city of Sunlan
