Burnige gives youth a chance

Tony Craig

Millwall may be manager-less, but the club today made its first signings of the Burnige era - and just to reiterate the chairman's intention to put his faith in youth, all four signings are below the age of 23.

Defender Tony Craig, who had been frozen out by Dennis Wise at the beginning of last season, has signed a new two year deal while options to keep Mark Phillips, Ben May and Terry Masterson were taken up to keep the players at the club.

Speaking to the club's official site, Jeff Burnige said: "All those players will now be with us next season. There are still one or two things still to do, and we'll keep supporters right up to date when we have more to announce."
