Double-jobbing Doherty is off to Canaries

NORWICH have signed Republic of Ireland utility man Gary Doherty from Tottenham for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old has signed a three-year deal, with the option of an extra year, and has joined the Canaries squad for today’s match at Manchester United.

Doherty has been signed primarily as a central defender, with the Premiership newcomers short of options in that area. He becomes Norwich manager Nigel Worthington’s eighth signing of the summer.
