Norwich City sign Millwall striker Steve Morison (1 Viewer)

Norwich City have signed striker Millwall Steve Morison for an undisclosed sum.
The Wales international joins the Canaries, newly promoted to the Premier League, on a three-year contract.

The 27-year-old joined the Lions from Stevenage in the summer of 2009 and notched 17 goals in 43 games in his debut Championship campaign.

Norwich have scheduled a news conference for 1530 BST on Monday to introduce Morison as a Canaries player.

Morison told the club's Canaries' official website: "

Norwich are a massive club who have earned the right to play in the Premier League, and as a player that's where you want to be."

Boss Paul Lambert added:

"We're going to need to be as strong as we can in every department.

"Steve is a natural goalscorer who will significantly add to what is already a very competitive striking department. That is what we will need in the Premier League."

Morison handed in a transfer request last week which was rejected by Millwall.

He is set to make the leap from playing non-league football to the Premier League within two years.

Fresh off Nations Cup duty with Wales Morison has netted 40 times in his two Millwall campaigns to date and still has two years to run on his current deal at the Den.
Norwich have already signed Everton striker James Vaughan after winning promotion to the Premier League.
