Norwich City have signed Lazio fullback Javier Garrido on a season-long loan.

Norwich confirmed the signing on their club website, and Garrido adds experience to a squad which survived comfortably in the Barclays Premier League last season.

Hughton said: "I'm absolutely delighted to be bringing in somebody of Javier's quality.

"It gives us real competition in the squad, and for me an important factor was the fact that he has played in the Premier League before.

"He has played in La Liga, Serie A, and the Premier League, so he is a player of real experience."
