Northampton keeper Burge signs new one-year deal

Lee Burge made 160 appearances for Coventry City in nine seasons with the club before moving to Sunderland in July 2019 where he played 64 times

Northampton Town goalkeeper Lee Burge has signed a new one-year contract with the League One club.

The former Coventry City and Sunderland keeper, 31, has made 59 appearances for the Cobblers, including 20 this season as the club finished in 14th place.

Northampton boss Jon Brady said he was "delighted" Burge had agreed to stay adding his "record and pedigree are top class".

"He is consistent, he brings experience and a calmness to the goalkeeping position and he is another one who we believe there is more to come from," Brady said.

"He came back into the side towards the end of the season and generally did well and we think Lee will benefit from a full, strong pre-season."

Burge's new deal has an option for a further 12 months.
