East Cambridgeshire goalkeeper Nick Pope has signed a new three-year deal at Burnley.
The 25-year-old from Wicken, who joined the Clarets from Charlton Athletic last summer, has also the option of a further year in his new deal.
The former Bury Town goalkeeper hit the headlines earlier in the season after turning in a top performance in his Premier League debut against Crystal Palace. He has gone on to make three more league appearances.
Pope told the BBC: “We are still growing as a club and I’m growing as a player. That’s what I wanted when I first signed.
“It’s been lucky on my part how it’s come about – a bit by default. But I’ve really enjoyed it since I’ve been in the team.
