Colchester striker makes Norwich return

Posted by Admin in Uncategorized on June 30th, 2007

Norwich City have re-signed former striker Jamie Cureton from Colchester United for an undisclosed fee.

The 31-year-old put pen to paper on a three-year deal at Carrow Road.

Cureton told his new club’s official website: “I’m delighted with the move back to Norwich. There’s been a lot of speculation and other clubs have been interested, but it was always Norwich that I wanted to come back to.”

He continued: “I scored a lot of goals at youth and reserve level here and managed to get a few goals in big games for the first team. But if I’m honest I didn’t really feel my first team career got going here and I’m determined to put that right this time.”

He added: “I managed to finish as top scorer in the Championship last season and that’s what I’ve got to be aiming for again with Norwich. With the quality of players we have in the squad there’s no reason why I should not get a lot of goals and no reason why we shouldn’t be going all out for promotion.

“I will be 32 in August but I still have plenty in the locker, don’t worry about that. I’m probably playing the best I have ever played at the moment and I’m raring to go. I’m ambitious and I want to get to the Premiership with Norwich.

“It’s a great club and the stadium and the facilities have improved even more since I was here before. I can’t wait to get cracking with the rest of the lads in training to be honest.”

Newcastle United have completed the signing of Paris-SG defender David Rozehnal for £2.9m.

The Czech international has put pen to paper on a four-year contract at St. James’ Park.

Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce told his club’s official website: “I’m delighted that we have been able to secure the signing of David and been able to beat the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla to get him.

“He’s a high class player with many years of experience both at club level and international level.

“He’ll bring some height and stature to the defence. He’ll help strengthen us in that area and he’s also very good technically.

“We’ve worked hard to get this deal done and our persistance has paid off.

“He will need to make some adjustment to get used to playing in the Premier League but we will help him do that, and at 26 he is still a good age to learn.

“David already speaks very good English and is a very good character. I am sure he is looking forward to playing for Newcastle United and he is a very good addition.”
