Chris Hughton admits that he is happy with Ricky van Wolfswinkel's first appearance for Norwich City.

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton has revealed that he was happy with what he saw from record signing Ricky van Wolfswinkel during their pre-season friendly encounter against the San Jose Earthquakes.

The Dutch international, who was making his first appearance in Norwich colours, featured during the opening 45 minutes and picked up a yellow card before he was replaced at the break.

"He was keen to get going. He looked sharp and he knew before hand that he was playing 45 minutes," the Eastern Daily Press quotes Hughton as saying. "He played like a man who very much wanted to get the most out of those 45 minutes. He put himself around and but for some good, quick defending he might have been on scoresheet.

"He picked up a yellow card which I thought was a little bit unfair but he is prepared to mix it. I thought the yellow on him was the correct one and because the incident happened pretty soon after I don't know if the referee felt he had to book him. I didn't think it warranted a booking, but he certainly looked lively."

The Canaries lost the match 1-0 thanks to an early goal from Cordell Cato.
