Fulham sign Norwood on loan from Brighton

Fulham have completed the signing of midfielder Oliver Norwood on a season-long loan from Brighton.

The 26-year-old Northern Ireland international joined Brighton from Reading last year and started 16 Championship matches in the Seagulls’ promotion-winning campaign.

He started his career at Manchester United and had a spell at Huddersfield before moving to Reading.

“I’m just delighted to be here,” Norwood told fulhamfctv.

“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.”

Meanwhile, Fulham are hoping to tie up the loan signing of Sheyi Ojo from Liverpool despite several other clubs being interested in the winger.
