Lynch is a young and agile stopper who originally joined the club from Manchester United.
The Salford-born goalkeeper lists Pepe Reina as his role model and featured regularly for John Henry's reserve side during their recent pre-season campaign, pulling off a number of eye-catching saves.
Those displays meant that the 19-year-old has trained with the first team on a regular basis and was on the bench for several matches in the 2011/12 season, including being named in the squad for the trip to Old Trafford in January.
