Burnley keeper Pope signs new contract

Burnley have wrapped up goalkeeper Nick Pope for another three years.

The 25-year-old has impressed at Turf Moor since filling in for injured England shot-stopper Tom Heaton.

But manager Sean Dyche says the Clarets were already determined to re-sign Pope before Heaton's injury.

"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," said Dyche.

"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."
