Anders Lindegaard pens Burnley contract extension

Burnley goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard has signed a new contract at Turf Moor.

The former Manchester United stopper has put pen to paper on a deal that will keep him at the club until June 2019.

Lindegaard is yet to make a senior appearance for Burnley, having served as understudy to Nick Pope while Tom Heaton is out injured.

Clarets manager Sean Dyche has said that the Denmark international intends to challenge Pope for first-team football while Heaton is sidelined.

Lindegaard was an unused substitute during Burnley's last 27 Premier League matches.
