McGhee moves to bring back loan star

Sky Sports understands Bristol Rovers have agreed a deal to sign former Leicester youngster Oliver Norburn. The 19-year-old enjoyed a spell on loan at Rovers last season and Mark McGhee has moved to sign him on a permanent basis. Norburn arrives at the Memorial Stadium on a free transfer after seeing out his contract at the King Power Stadium. The former Chelsea youth player never made a first-team appearance for Leicester, but made six appearances for Rovers on loan last season. Norburn is thought to have agreed a one-year deal with the option for a further 12 months with the Pirates.
