Gill makes Canaries move

Tue 09 Jun, 03:27 PM


Norwich boss Bryan Gunn has made Exeter midfielder Matt Gill his first summer signing.

The 29-year-old's contract with the Grecians was due to expire at the end of the month and he will join the Canaries on a two-year deal on July 1.

Gill spent three years at St James' Park and was recently named the club's player of the season after helping them to a second successive promotion to League One.

Gunn told the club's official website: "The winning mentality of a player who has been with a club which has enjoyed success for the last two seasons was very important to me.

"Matt has experience at this level with other clubs and he's a very competitive player - but he's also a player who likes to pass the ball and I believe the Norwich fans will take to him due to the way he plays, the attitude and commitment he shows.

"He's a Norwich lad born and bred and he is desperate to pull on the yellow and green jersey and do well for Norwich City."

  3. A player who wants to play for us can only be a good­ signing. Welcome Matt Gill. Make your parents and us­ proud. Good to have a local lad back in to the fold.­ Also may i add how pleasing it is today to read that­ Dejan wants to stay and play for us, repaying some­ loyalty. Exactly the spirit we need, unlike those who­ have left or want to leave having got us in the­ position we are in today.
    COME ON YOU YELLOWS !!!!!
