Former Sunderland shot-stopper Lee Burge has signed a two-year deal with Northampton Town following his release from the Stadium of Light. The 29-year-old will link up with the League Two promotion hopefuls when his contract expires on July 1 having spent the last three years on Wearside.
During that time Burge played 66 times for the Black Cats and was named the goalkeeper in the EFL 2020/21 League One Team of the Season. He also helped Lee Johnson's side end their Wembley hoodoo as they defeated Tranmere Rovers in the Papa John's Trophy final back in the 2020/21 campaign.
Town have just recently lost goalkeeper Liam Roberts to Middlesbrough and Burge has now been brought to the club as his replacement.
