Burnley hand new deal to Nick Pope

Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope signs a new three-year contract at Turf Moor.

Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope has signed a new three-year contract at Turf Moor.

Despite signing for the Clarets in 2016, Pope had to wait until last month to make his first Premier League appearance but the former Charlton Athletic has been a huge success since replacing the injured Tom Heaton.

The 25-year-old has kept three clean sheets in four top-flight outings, and Sean Dyche has moved quickly to secure the stopper's services until 2020.

Dyche told the club's official website: "We were already in discussions with Nick before he had the chance to start the games he has done recently and we're pleased they have been finalised.

"He had been working hard to continue his development out of the team. He is continuing that since he got into the side and we look forward to him progressing further as an important member of the squad."

Pope has now made a total of 10 appearances in all competitions.
