Jean-Yves Mvoto is a tall centre back currently with Sunderland.
Born in Paris of Cameroonian extraction, Jean-Yves started his professional career with Paris St Germain where he also won representative honours for France at U19 level.
He joined Sunderland in January 2008 although he has yet to make his first-team debut for the Black Cats.
Jean-Yves was loaned to Southend United for six months in August 2009 and featured in half a dozen games at centre back before a hip injury curtailed his run in the side.
