Burnley Football Club have revealed that veteran shot stopper and former full English international Paul Robinson, has signed a new one-year deal.
The former England number one, 36, joined the Clarets on a short-term deal in January during their promotion push for the Premier League.

Robinson, who provided back-up to Tom Heaton for the final 19 games of the Championship season, following an injury to Matt Gilks, has been rewarded with a new 12-month contract.
Burnley gaffer Sean Dyche said: “We are delighted to have Paul back on board.
“He continues to work hard at his profession and his wealth of experience is hugely beneficial to the team and, in particular, the goalkeeping department.
“Our other goalkeepers, especially the younger ones, will continue to improve while Paul is with us and we look forward to working with him again this coming season.”
The former Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur and Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper has made over 400 club appearances and also earned 41 full England caps in an eventful career.
This might suggest that the Clarets proposed deal for the Addicks goalkeeper Nick Pope deal is now buried? (TEC).
