Norwich City capture Carlo Nash

Norwich City have signed veteran goalkeeper Carlo Nash on a 12-month contract.

The 39-year-old had been a free agent following his recent release by Stoke City.

His arrival has also allowed manager Chris Hughton to sanction a loan switch for young keeper Declan Rudd, who will spend the upcoming campaign with Preston North End.

"It is now important to us to bring in a keeper of great experience and a player that is used to living life in the Premier League," Hughton told the club's official website.

"The move also allows us to send Declan Rudd out on an extremely valuable season-long loan to Preston where he can get some football under his belt."

The Canaries are the 12th club that Nash will have represented.
