George Evans made four appearances for Millwall at the end of last season
Millwall goalkeeper George Evans has signed a new "long-term" contract at The Den.
The 20-year academy graduate made his debut in a 4-1 defeat against Blackburn Rovers last season when regular number one Lukas Jensen was injured and back-up stopper Liam Roberts was suspended.
Evans started the following three games, conceding eight goals as the Lions finished the season with two wins and two defeats.
He will compete with new signing Max Crocombe and current number one Jensen in the Lions' goalkeeper department for the coming season.
Alex Neil's side travel to Norwich City on the opening weekend of the Championship season.

Josh Coburn reflects on his time at Middlesbrough
Josh Coburn says it was the "right time" to leave Middlesbrough after he signed for Millwall last week.
The 22-year-old forward, who spent last season on loan with the Lions, spoke to BBC Radio Tees' Mark Drury to reflect on his time at the Riverside Stadium.
Another transfer window, another Millwall club record deal.
The news of Josh Coburn's move to The Den for a reported £5m deal, including various performance related add-ons, was met with near universal approval around the Millwall scene - which is no mean achievement by the Lions' recruiting team.
Josh made 21 appearances on loan from Middlesbrough last term and his physical presence alongside our Serbian prospect Mihailo Ivanovic, generated 18 goals between them in a front two pairing that made my old eyes go all misty with nostalgia.
Clearly head coach Alex Neil sees strong development potential in Coburn, playing alongside Iva in a front two system.
Already the internet memes comparing them to the classic 1980's Teddy Sheringham and Tony Cascarino strike force are doing the rounds. All we need now is a new Terry Hurlock-style midfielder to really get the Bermondsey juices flowing...
Exciting times at The Den, then. As ever, Lions fans will be forever grateful for the continuing backing of the Berylson family.

Millwall right-back Danny McNamara has signed a new contract with the Championship club.
The 26-year-old academy graduate has made 149 appearances for the south-east Londoners, scoring two goals.
A serious knee injury after 15 games last term brought a premature end to his campaign in January as Alex Neil's side went on to finish eighth in the Championship.

Millwall have announced plans to introduce safe standing areas at The Den during the 2025-26 season.
Two different areas in the stadium will have rails installed and allow up to 2,093 fans to stand throughout matches.
The safe standing sections will be in designated rows and blocks in the upper tiers of the North Stand and Dockers Stand.
Seats will remain in the areas but rails will be put in place, with work on the project set to begin during the October international break.
The club has said the capacity of The Den and ticket prices will not change.
"Safe standing is something we have been considering for some time, and our fans who travel to away matches will see it being installed across the country," Millwall's managing director, Mark Fairbrother, told the club website, external.
"Given the nature of The Den - and following extensive consultation with relevant safety authorities, we are looking to phase this installation into areas where fans predominately stand already."
