Carson pens new deal

Fri, 23 Oct 08:41:30 2009

Sunderland keeper Trevor Carson has committed his future to the club by signing a new long-term contract.

The 21-year-old will remain at the Stadium of Light until the summer of 2012 and push senior men Craig Gordon and Marton Fulop for a place in the first team.

Manager Steve Bruce told the club's official website: "We have seen a huge improvement in Trevor in recent months. He's still very young in goalkeeping terms, but he's brave, a good shot-stopper and has excellent distribution."

He added: "He's relishing working with Nigel Spink and being involved with the first team, and the challenge for Trevor now is to be pushing Craig and Marton for a regular place in the first-team squad."

Downpatrick-born Northern Ireland Under-21 international Carson made two senior appearances in pre-season and was on the bench for four games earlier in the campaign with Fulop nursing a heel injury.

  5. Not me matey i'm far too thick skinned, besides, I­ see the situation for what it really is. You lot arent­ a genuine premier league team you are just there to­ make up the numbers. A lucky result against a slack man­ u then you beat Liverpools reserves with a completely­ and utterly illegal goal(but funny i admit) Now you all­ go into smug overload. YOUR CLUB WILL NEVER EVER FINISH­ IN THE TOP SIX - FACT
