Goalkeeper Will Norris, who spent the second-half of last season on loan at Posh from Burnley, has now joined League One rivals Portsmouth on a three-year contract following his release from Turf Moor.

Norris kept 11 clean sheets in 24 appearances for Posh last season.

Pompey have also signed versatile defender Conor Shaugnessy from League One side Burton Albion, and they have been linked with a move for Bournemouth forward Christian Saydee who spent last season on loan at Shrewsbury Town.

Attacking midfielder Reeco Hackett-Fairchild has moved to Lincoln from Pompey for an undisclosed fee. The Imps have also signed midfielder Alistair Smith from Sutton United on a free transfer.

Port Vale have signed midfielder Tom Sang from Cardiff City.
