When Town manager Lee Clark went searching for a goalkeeper to challenge Alex Smithies for the number one shirt during the summer of 2010, the signing of Ian Bennett fitted the bill precisely.
A vastly experienced campaigner, 'Benno' has played at the highest levels of English football - making nearly 50 Premier League appearances for former club Birmingham City.
Ian is an excellent communicator as well as a brilliant shot-stopper and became a bit of a cult hero during his first season at the Club thanks to a string of impressive performances. Due to injuries to Alex Smithies, Ian made 34 appearances during the 2010/11 campaign and signed a new one year contract extension in the summer.
