Michael McGovern signs for Norwich after impressive Euro 2016 displays

Norwich have announced the signing of goalkeeper Michael McGovern, who starred for Northern Ireland at Euro 2016.

The 32-year-old, who was a free agent after leaving Hamilton earlier this summer, has agreed a three-year contract.

McGovern impressed at Euro 2016, particularly during a 1-0 loss to Germany in which he made a string of fine saves.

And at Norwich he will team up once again with his former Hamilton boss Alex Neil.

"Having worked with the gaffer before, that was a big pull for me," McGovern told the Norwich website.

"I had some interest from elsewhere, but I'm really looking forward to working with him again now at Norwich. It's nice to join a club where I'll have some familiar faces around me.

"I'm aiming to get into the team but I know I'm up against some top-class goalkeepers. It's going to be intense competition, although it's a challenge I'll relish.

"I want to play but I also want to help the younger players coming through as much as I can. That's something I've looked to do at my previous clubs, and I'll look to lend my experience wherever possible."

Neil said: "Michael is a player that I've worked with before, so I know all about his qualities and his character.

"He's a fantastic professional, and he showed he's capable of playing at the top level with his performances for Northern Ireland at the Euros. He will come in and offer great competition to our current goalkeepers."

Norwich appear to have good strength in depth at the goalkeeper position ahead of their Championship campaign and McGovern will compete for minutes with John Ruddy and Declan Rudd.
