Murtough went on to say that the acquisition of Butland, along with David, Tom, and other young keepers, will create a supportive environment for training and playing.

“Jack is an excellent goalkeeper with a great deal of experience throughout his career,” Murtough said. “His mentality and personality will be a real asset to our superb group of goalkeepers and the whole squad. Jack joins David, Tom, and our young keepers to form a strong group who will all support each other in creating an optimal training and playing environment.
