Burch made 100 appearance in two years with Lincoln

Notts County have signed goalkeeper Rob Burch from League Two side Lincoln City on a two-year deal.

The 26-year-old turned down a new contract with the Imps and was available on a free transfer after his deal at Sincil Bank expired.

Notts new manager Craig Short, who has only been in charge at Meadow Lane for two days, said: "I am delighted to have secured my first signing.

"I am looking to put together a squad that can challenge in League One."

Burch turned professional with Tottenham Hotspur in July 2002 and spent a further five years at the club.

He had loan spells with Woking, Stevenage, West Ham, Bristol City and Barnet, before signing for Sheffield Wednesday in 2007.

The former England Under-20 goalkeeper was released by the Owls after just one season and three competitive matches, and signed for Lincoln in July 2008.
