Norwich sign Euro 2016 star

 

Norwich have announced the signing of Northern Ireland’s Euro 2016 star Michael McGovern.

 

McGovern, 32, has been a free agent since being released by Scottish outfit Hamilton Academical at the end of last season.

 

The Northern Ireland international has put pen to paper on a three-year deal with the Canaries and has reunited with Alex Neil.

 

“Having worked with the gaffer before, that was a big pull for me,” McGovern told the club’s official website.

 

“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.”
