Sunderland terminates Adam Johnson's contract


England International Adam Johnson's contract has been terminated by Premier League club Sunderland after he pleaded guilty to being sexually involved with a child, the club stated on Thursday.

"In light of Adam Johnson's guilty pleas, the club has today terminated his contract with immediate effect," Sunderland said in a statement. "The club will make no further comment."

Johnson who helped save the club from defeat against Liverpool last weekend, pleaded guilty to one count of sexual activity with a child, but denied two other charges, when he appeared at Bradford Crown Court on Wednesday.
