Burnley keeper Nick Pope signs new deal after strong start at Turf Moor

Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope's season continues to improve after he signed a new three-year contract.

The 25-year-old made his Premier League debut last month as a substitute after established number one Tom Heaton dislocated his shoulder in the home win over Crystal Palace.

Pope, whose new contract includes the option for an additional 12 months, is likely to play the majority of the season as Heaton has been ruled out for several months after an operation.

'I'm delighted to sign a new contract and extend my stay here,' Pope, who joined the club from Charlton in the summer of 2016, told the club's website.
