Norwich City
have signed Sunderland defender Michael Turner for an undisclosed fee.
The 28-year-old, who has signed a two-year deal at Carrow Road, played 77
times for the Black Cats following a move from Hull City in
2009.
"I'm delighted. The deal is all signed now and I'm happy to be here," Turner
told the Norwich website.
"I've picked up a lot of experience throughout my career, and hopefully I can
add a bit to the squad here."
Turner featured 29 times for Sunderland last season, but boss Martin O'Neill
has said he was happy to let the centre-half leave, despite an injury concern over fellow central defender
Wes Brown.
The former Brentford player becomes Norwich's fourth summer signing,
following the arrivals of Robert Snodgrass, Jacob Butterfield and Steven
Whittaker.
"I'm delighted to be able to bring Michael into the squad as he is a player
with a wealth of Premier League experience," said Canaries boss Hughton.
"Like with Snodgrass, Butterfield, and Whittaker, it's nice to bring players
in with a good amount of time left in pre-season so they are able to gel with
the squad ahead of the first game of the season."
