Jon Stewart to sign Burnley deal

02 August 2011 18:51
Former Bournemouth goalkeeper Jon Stewart will be signing a one year deal with the Clarets having spent most of the pre-season on trial with the club and making two substitute appearances in the pre-season games. Stewart was signed by Eddie Howe from Weymouth last summer as cover at Bournemouth but following Howe's departure to Burnley he had his contract terminated because of a number of disciplinary problems. Howe has been looking to add a third goalkeeper to the squad and this signing will come as no surprise. He'll presumably play in the reserve games whilst acting as understudy to first team goalkeepers Lee Grant and Brian Jensen.
