Northampton goalkeeper Mark Bunn is set to spend two days this week training with Manchester City to gain some valuable top-tier experience.The highly-rated 23-year-old, who has made more than 100 first team appearances for Town, will spend time working with City's goalkeepers and staff.

Cobblers manager Stuart Gray said: "This is an excellent opportunity for Mark. The chance for him came about through a contact I have there, Eric Steele, who is City's goalkeeping coach.

"These two days will give Mark a taste of what is demanded at the very highest level and will give him the chance to work with Premier League players in Premier League facilities.

"Mark has been superb for us over the last two seasons and I think this an excellent opportunity for him to broaden his experience.

"His attitude and application to training is first class, and he is always working at his game to constantly improve on his already high standards. Working with Eric and the staff and Manchester City is an excellent opportunity for him."
