Norwich City Signs NI Goalkeeper Michael McGovern
NI goalkeeper Michael McGovern has been signed to Norwich City on a free transfer.
The 32-year-old Northern Irishman proved what he was worth at the Euro 2016 championships, and signed a three-year deal at Carrow Road.
He left Hamilton Academical earlier this summer.
Speaking exclusively to Norwich City's official website, www.canaries.co.uk, he said: "Having worked with the gaffer before, that was a big pull for me.
"I had some interest from elsewhere but I'm really looking forward to working with him again now at Norwich. It's nice to join a club where I'll have some familiar faces around me.
"I'm aiming to get into the team but I know I'm up against some top-class goalkeepers. It's going to be intense competition, although it's a challenge I'll relish.
"I want to play but also I want to help the younger players coming through as much as I can. That's something I've looked to do at my previous clubs, and I'll look to lend my experience wherever possible."
