Norwich sign Bamford on loan from Chelsea

Norwich City have bolstered their attacking options by signing
Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford on loan until the end of the
season.

Bamford returned to Stamford Bridge after a loan spell at
Crystal Palace he described as "terrible" at the start of January,
and will now ply his trade at Carrow Road for the remainder of
the campaign.

The 22-year-old only made six Premier League appearances for
Palace, but is determined to fire relegation-threatened Norwich
to safety.

Bamford told Norwich's official website: "I'm really happy to be
here, and the sooner I'm able to get involved the better.

"That's what I want to do personally, but it's also about helping
Norwich to get the points required to stay in the league."

Manager Alex Neil added: "Patrick is a player who excelled last
season [on loan at Middlesbrough] and we are pleased to have
the opportunity to bring him in.

"He's a young forward determined to make his way in the game,
and adds competition for us at the top end of the pitch."
