Friedel signs new one-year deal with Tottenham

LONDON (Reuters) - Former United States goalkeeper Brad Friedel has signed a new one-year contract to stay at Tottenham Hotspur until 2015, the Premier League club said on Monday.

Friedel will combine playing with a role as an ambassador for the London club, including a special focus on the U.S., Spurs announced on their website (www.tottenhamhotspur.com).

The 43-year-old stopper made a Premier League record 310 consecutive appearances between 2004 and 2012 playing for Blackburn Rovers, Aston Villa and Tottenham.

He spent most of the 2013-14 season on the bench as reserve for French international goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

Friedel made 82 appearances for the United States and represented his country at two World Cups.
