Professional career

Almond is a product of Sunderland's Academy system having been there since the age of 11 and was a regular starter in the Under-23 team during the 2020–21 season.[2] He signed his first Professional Contract in the summer of 2021, which was incorrectly reported as an extension to a previous Contract.[3]

He was an unused first-team substitute for two EFL Trophy games against Fleetwood Town and Lincoln City in the 2020–21 season after impressing for the Under-23s.[4] He gained his senior professional debut in the same competition on 13 October 2021, in a 2–1 win over Manchester United U-23s[5] after also being an unused substitute against Lincoln City the week before, again in the EFL Trophy.
