Lincoln City goalkeeper Zach Jeacock has signed a new three-year deal with the League One club.

The 24-year-old joined the Imps on a two-year deal in the summer of 2024 after he was released by Birmingham City earlier that year.

Jeacock had a 12-month option on his previous deal, but has agreed new terms to remain at the LNER Stadium until 2029.

And again, Lincoln will have the option of keeping the goalkeeper for a further year after that.

So far, he has made 21 appearances for the Imps across all competitions.

While Jeacock has featured only in cup competitions this season, he played 11 times in the league last term after initially being recalled from a loan spell at Southend to help cover for first-choice keeper George Wickens when he was injured.

"In the short-term, Zach will continue to challenge George for the number one jersey, but this contract is also about planning and future proofing this position," Lincoln's director of football Jez George told the club website., external
