We are delighted to announce that Carlo Cudicini has signed a new contract to extend his stay at the Club until 2011.

Carlo joined us from Chelsea in January 2009 and made four first team appearances in the second half of season 2008-09. The Italy goalkeeper made a further seven appearances last season before his campaign was curtailed after being injured in a road accident.

The 36-year-old is now back out on the training pitch and will be working throughout the summer with Goalkeeping Coach Tony Parks to improve his fitness ahead of the new campaign.

Head of Medical Services Wayne Diesel said: "We are delighted at how well Carlo has progressed. He has shown a great deal of self discipline and motivation to come back from this."

Harry's delight for Carlo

Harry Redknapp paid tribute to Carlo Cudicini's professionalism after the goalkeeper signed a new deal to stay at Spurs until 2011.

The 36-year-old joined us in January, 2009 and made seven appearances last season before his campaign was curtailed after being injured in a road accident.

But he's back out on the training pitch and will be working throughout the summer with Goalkeeping Coach Tony Parks to improve his fitness ahead of the new campaign.

"It is great to see Carlo out on the training pitch again after everything he has been through," said Harry. "He is coming on fantastic and training well.

"If anyone was going to come back from something like this it would be him.

"He is dedicated, a top professional through and through, and has been there every Saturday to support the side.

"He has been brought up in the game - his father was a great goalkeeper at AC Milan and Carlo is exactly the same, a top-class person and professional."

i really hope we aren't relying on him as back up to HG next season

well at least spurs will have the summer to check him out, maybe mini-miracles do happen

but we had the best part of a year to check alnwick out and still kept him on, despite the fact he 'isn't very good' - to put it mildly

Well I'm pleased that this player has fought his way back in to contention to serve as a capable back-up keeper to Gomes.

He is proven in this standard of football, knows the game and is certainly not a gamble as opposed to bringing in £4-5m worth of potentially untested keeper willing to be benched for the best part of the season until Gomes decides to consult his notes in his medical journal.

Carlo is a great number two if he comes back to full fitness. Harry is no mug and nor is Tony Parkes who advice would have been central.

Good to hear his rehab is going well. Personally the only goal keeper change we should make is dropping alnick and letting button have the 3rd keeper role

This really is excellent news for Carlo, and clearly shows that he is making a full recovery. However, we might still need additional cover for European away games as I can't see Carlo getting past the airport metal detectors any more.

He will be our number 3 and a dam good one at that we need a top class number 2 David James i recon or a youngster from Watford would be good.

I wonder if he'll play a season for no wages like that American forward is doing in Milan?
