Burnley sign Adam Legzdins from Birmingham on three-year deal as Clarets bolster goalkeeping options

Burnley have acquired more back-up for England goalkeeper Tom Heaton by signing Adam Legzdins from Birmingham for an undisclosed fee.

Paul Robinson, who served as their second-choice stopper last term, retired over the summer so the Clarets were keen to add a third goalkeeper to be a deputy for Heaton and Nick Pope.

Legzdins, who had a year left to run on his contract at Birmingham, told the club's website: 'I'm not one to stand still. I'd like to think I've got a good feel of things and I just felt it was the right time.

'Interest from someone like Burnley is something you can't ignore, no matter what the situation was at Birmingham, and after speaking to the people here I think it will be a really good fit for myself.
