What is Dean Bouzanis known for?

Upon signing the footballer, club manager Ince said: “Dean is a goalkeeper who I know will put his body on the line and throw everything into keeping the ball out of the net for this football club.
“He becomes part of what is now a solid-looking goalkeeping department, led by the hugely experienced Tony Warner, and I am confident he will be a real asset to the club this season and beyond.”
