Stowell will be working as a coach as well
|
Bristol City have agreed a new two-year contract with the veteran Mike Stowell. The 38-year-old goalkeeper, who moved to City from Wolves in 2001, will also help out with coaching at Ashton Gate.
Stowell will provide cover for the team's number one goalkeeper Steve Phillips, who was an ever-present in the City side last season.
"We feel Mike is still capable of providing competition for Steve as goalkeepers tend to have longer careers than outfield players," the chairman Steve Lansdown told the club's official website.
"But it was also felt important to have a goalkeeping coach. Mike is ideally situated to take on the role.
"We hope he can pass on his experience and know-how to our young goalkeepers while still being free to play if necessary."
