Republic of Ireland midfielder Sykes signs for Millwall

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND midfielder Mark Sykes has signed a two-year deal for Millwall.

The 28-year-old free agent was most recently at Bristol City, where he completed four seasons of Sky Bet Championship experience following a move from Oxford United.

Sykes began his career with Glenavon in Northern Ireland before moving to Oxford United in 2019, scoring his first goal for the club in an EFL Cup tie against Millwall in August of that year.

He later joined Bristol City, where he spent four years as The Robins established themselves as a top-six contender in The Championship.

“Mark is a proven, experienced Championship player with senior international caps to his name and he brings genuine versatility to our squad,” said Steve Gallen, Millwall’s Director of Football.

“He can operate at right-back, right-wing or the right side of the midfield, and having that kind of flexibility in one player is a real asset for us.

“He’s mobile, comfortable on the ball and reads the game well – we’re really pleased to have him on board.”
