Starke, Gaudino sign new Bayern contracts

Starke has been back-up to Manuel Neuer for the Bundesliga leaders this season in the absence of Pepe Reina, but he has yet to make an appearance in any competition.

The 33-year-old has not started for Bayern since March when Neuer was rested in the build-up to Bayern's UEFA Champions League clash with Manchester United.

However, despite his lack of activity, Starke has been rewarded with a new deal by the club and will continue his battle with Neuer, Reina and Leopold Zingerle.

The midfielder has made six appearances for Pep Guardiola's side this season and has agreed a four-year contract that keeps him with the club until 2018.
