James Husband has left Middlesbrough for Norwich on a three-year deal

Norwich have signed left-back James Husband from Middlesbrough.

The 23-year-old, who has Championship experience with Doncaster, Fulham, Huddersfield and Boro, arrives on a three-year contract.

Husband suffered a shoulder injury in pre-season last summer and did not make his Premier League debut until April, when he started in Boro's 4-2 defeat at Hull.

"It didn't start off well last season," he told the Norwich website. "I got injured at the start of the year and was basically playing catch-up for the rest of the year.

"It didn't go to plan for me and I didn't play as much football as I wanted. So first and foremost I've come here to play football and to enjoy my time as much as possible.

"I'm delighted to join such a big football club. The main thing is to try and get Norwich up the league as far as we can go. Everyone seems lovely and welcoming and I'm looking forward to my time here."

Head coach Daniel Farke said: "James is quick, he's technically good and knows how to defend. There are some things he needs to improve but he's young and his attitude and character are excellent.

"He's a young guy with lots of potential, but he also already has strong experience of playing in the Championship. He's an excellent fit for our squad."

Husband is City's sixth close-season signing.
