Huckerby's Norwich move back on

Huckerby is joining Norwich on a permanent basis
Manchester City striker Darren Huckerby is set to complete his move to Norwich on Friday.

The 27-year-old recently completed a three-month loan spell with the Canaries, helping them to the top of Division One.

Earlier this week, a deal to make the move permanent collapsed after the player and Norwich failed to agree terms.

But discussions resumed and Huckerby is now ready to return to Carrow Road.

Huckerby was furious when the deal broke down and questioned how much Norwich wanted to sign him.

Both Norwich and West Brom agreed a £750,000 fee for Huckerby's services, but he turned down other approaches to concentrate on the East Anglian outfit.

"Both myself and my agent understood and accepted what sacrifices I had to make in order for this deal to go through, following our initial meeting with officials from the club," added Huckerby at the time.

"I also spurned the opportunity to speak to more than one other club that wanted my services in order that I concentrated on trying to help reach an agreement to play for Norwich."
