Lee Burge: Northampton agree two-year deal with Sunderland goalkeeper

Northampton Town have agreed to sign goalkeeper Lee Burge on a two-year contract following his release by Championship club Sunderland.

Burge played nine games in 2021-22, the last in a 5-1 Carabao Cup defeat by Premier League giants Arsenal.

"Lee is a quality addition and we are delighted to be able to bring him to the club," said boss Jon Brady.

"There was a lot of interest in his services, as you would expect for a keeper of his experience and quality, and we are delighted we have been able to fend off that interest.

"To be able to bring the League One Team of the Season keeper from 2021 to Sixfields is an excellent piece of business and a real coup for the club and his arrival is another key target in place.
