On-loan Matt Jarvis eager to make his mark at Norwich

Matt Jarvis is relishing the chance to play his part in the Norwich City revival after completing a deadline-day loan switch from West Ham United.
The winger will be in Norfolk for the rest of the season and has been impressed by what he has seen so far.
Jarvis told the Canaries' official website: "I'm delighted to be here for the season and I'm really excited about getting started and helping the team.
"Everyone's made me feel welcome. It seems like a very nice club, and I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like when all the lads get back off international duty – there aren't loads of them here, so it will be good to get going."
Jarvis, who signed for West Ham from Wolves £10.75m in 2012, believes his early start for West Ham this season will help him settle in quickly at Carrow Road.
He said: "I was back in on June 22 with West Ham and I played all of the Europa League qualifying matches for them. I'm fully fit and I've been involved in pretty much all the games so far this season.
"I played 60 minutes at Carrow Road in pre-season too - I'm in good condition and ready to go. It's a fresh start for me, it's a chance for me to get back to playing games and back to my best."
Jarvis says he has been impressed by the progress of the club in 2015 under Alex Neil, who took over from Chris Hughton in January and went on to guide them back into the top flight through the play-offs.
"You only have to look at what he's done and the team has done in recent times. It's a fantastic journey the club has been on and hopefully we can kick on now," Jarvis said.
"Hopefully I'll be training with the lads on Thursday and then I'll get a full week with them next week. I'm really looking forward to being part of the team. You've got to work hard. The manager has said that he's very honest and that he will tell you what you think, and that's all you can ask for as a player."
