(Reuters) - Sunderland have decided against handing new deals to strikers Steven Fletcher and Danny Graham, defender Wes Brown and goalkeeper Steve Harper, the Premier League club said on Friday.

Fletcher, who was signed for a fee believed to be about 12 million pounds ($17.3 million) in 2012, scored 23 goals in 108 games but failed to break into the first-team under manager Sam Allardyce and ended last season on loan at Marseille.
