Johnny Howson signs Norwich City extension

Norwich City midfielder Jonny Howson has signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract with the Premier League club.

The 26-year-old, who joined the Canaries from Leeds United nearly 12 months ago, has extended his stay at Carrow Road until the summer of 2018.

Howson told the club's official website: "I'm very pleased. As soon as I found out there was an offer there I was very interested in getting it signed. I'm very settled here and happy to sign.

"I've really enjoyed the season so far and have had a good run in the side. I just want that to continue, and obviously staying here longer gives me the chance to do that."

Howson has scored two goals in 16 games for Norwich so far this season.
