Brighton midfielder Oliver Norwood has signed a season-long loan move to Fulham, the club has confirmed.

Norwood played a key role in helping Brighton secure promotion from the Championship last season, featuring in 33 league games for the Seagulls.

The 26-year-old is a product of the Manchester United academy but was unable to force his way into the first-team picture at Old Trafford, eventually joining Huddersfield in 2012.

"I'm just delighted to be here," Norwood told the Fulham's official TV channel. "Having played Fulham the last two seasons, the football they have played, it suits my style, it suits the way I like to play football.

"Once I knew of the interest I was desperate to get it done and I am very happy to be here."

A move to Reading followed two years later before the midfielder joined Brighton on a three-year deal ahead of last season.

Norwood is a Northern Ireland international and has made 43 appearances for his national side.
