Two things. First my understanding is that Jack Arthur is ahead of Andrew Sowden in the pecking order.Sorry to be negative about the lad (and without ever seeing him play) but I do fail see why he was given a professional contract. With Lee and Sowden both younger and above him in the pecking order. Hope to be proved wrong.
Second that makes Jack Arthur second choice keeper of those who are (permanent) City players. It is very sensible to have more than one professionally contracted keeper, especially as things can change very quickly (example - when Jordan Storey emerged there were suddenly 3 centre backs for two places - Storey, JMT and Troy Brown. Then in the close season JMT signed for MKD, Storey was sold to Preston and Troy Brown was injured. From 3 first choice to centre backs to none without playing a game)
