Norwich City sign Warner on loan.
canaries.premiumtv.co.ukThe Canaries have completed the loan signing of Fulham goalkeeper Tony Warner. Warner, 32, will remain at Carrow Road until the end of the season and goes straight into the squad for Norwich's Championship match with Barnsley at the weekend.
Should he start at Oakwell, Warner will become the fifth 'keeper to have turned out for City this season, with Paul Gallacher, Jamie Ashdown, Lee Camp and David Marshall the other custodians to have appeared for Norwich this campaign.
Warner put pen-to-paper on the move on Friday morning, in time to join his new team mates for their final training session before making the journey north for the match with the Tykes.
"It's a good opportunity for me," Warner told
CanariesWorld. "It all came through yesterday afternoon, as these things tend to do. The question got posed and it didn't take too long for me to think about it.
"I arrived here late last night and came to the training ground today and there's a few people who I know from other clubs so I had a word with them. They told me how good the Club was, and the facilities are very good, so I'm looking forward to a decent spell here."
Given the number 12 shirt at City, Warner began his career as a trainee at Liverpool before making his name as a first choice 'keeper at Millwall. He made more than 200 appearances for the Lions before moving to Cardiff and then to the Premiership with Fulham.
Warner enjoyed a 14-game spell with Leeds United at the start of the season, playing against the Canaries in their opening day game at Elland Road. Leeds won that game 1-0, with Warner producing a number of smart stops to deny City anything from the match.
