ChampionshipNorwich City have re-signed Middlesbrough defender Jonathan Grounds on a two-month loan deal. Norwich boss Glenn Roeder was delighted to have the 20 year old in his squad for a second time.

"I'm absolutely delighted to be able to tell our supporters that we've managed to get Jonathan Grounds back to Carrow Road for the next couple of months," Roeder told the club's official website.

"It's a position that we've known we've needed to fill, with Gary Doherty being the only fit, natural centre-back currently at the club.
