​DONE DEAL: Northern Ireland keeper McGovern makes Norwich switch

Championship Norwich have signed Northern Ireland international keeper Michael McGovern on a free transfer.

The 32 year old has put pen to paper on a three-year deal to link up again with former Accies boss Alex Neil following an impressive stint at Euro 2016.

"Having worked with the gaffer before, that was a big pull for me," McGovern told Norwich's official website.

"I had some interest from elsewhere but I'm really looking forward to working with him again now at Norwich.

"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."

Canaries boss Neil added: "He's a fantastic professional and he showed he's capable of playing at the top level with his performances for Northern Ireland at the Euros.

"He will come in and offer great competition to our current goalkeepers."
