Norwich boss Glenn Roeder says captain Mark Fotheringham can lead the club to a play-off position next season after signing a new contract.Fotheringham was linked with a move away from the club but has committed for another season under Roeder who believes the Canaries are going places.

Roeder told the club's official website: "It was important to me that Mark re-signed as he has proved to me since regaining full fitness that he's an excellent player who has turned out just as importantly to be a superb captain.

"He leads by example and I can't stress enough how important it is for us that he has signed for next year.

"I'm not surprised that there has been speculation about other clubs but once I'd talked to him about my plans he was keen to sign.

"He will continue to be our captain and our driving force and he will be looking to lead us to a top-six finish."
