Bristol Rovers goalkeeper Brad Young has signed a new four-year deal with the club.

Young made the move from Leicester City at the start of last season and played 27 games in all competitions for the Pirates, including the last 21 matches of their League Two campaign.

In all, Young kept nine clean sheets and was part of a side that won eight straight matches in the fourth tier before the final day of the season.

"I'm buzzing to sign this new contract," Young, 24, told the club website.

"I've had a year here now already and I've loved every minute of it. Once I broke into the team in late January it felt like things really took off for me and I've really loved it.

"I've been really grateful for the opportunity. We've got a brilliant group here and there's a real togetherness in the team. In the run at the end of the season, we developed a winning culture as well."

He added: "The length of the deal shows a lot of faith in me. I want to repay that now and take things game by game, keep working hard and hopefully bring some successful times to Bristol Rovers."

Young joins striker Ellis Harrison in penning a new deal with the club, who finished 14th in the table last term.
