Former Dons keeper lands League One move

Former AFC Wimbledon goalkeeper Nik Tzanev has signed for League One side Northampton Town.

The 27-year-old was released by the Dons at the end of last season and will head to the Sixfields Stadium as competition for number one Lee Burge.

Former Sutton loanee Tzanev made 126 appearances for Wimbledon before losing his starting spot to Sunderland loanee Alex Bass last season in League Two.

“We were looking to bring another senior keeper into the squad this season and we are pleased to welcome Nik,” said manager Jon Brady.

“He is a good size with a good presence and has a decent amount of experience under his belt, and James Alger rates him highly.

“Nik will come in to complement, support and challenge Lee Burge and his arrival strengthens and adds a little more experience to our goalkeeping department. It also allows us to look at a loan for James Dadge, if we wish, to further his development by playing week in, week out.

“We have a very proud record of developing and improving goalkeepers over the last few years at this club and we welcome Nik to the group.”
