Clingan sets sights on promotion

Clingan will move into his new Norfolk home on Thursday

Northern Ireland international Sammy Clingan is firmly focused on winning promotion for Norwich City.

The midfielder, who is on international duty at the moment, has been impressed in his short time at Carrow Road.

"I want to get Norwich promoted - that's my main aim. We've had three draws and one defeat but hopefully our first win is not far away," he said.

"There's good ambition at the club, they've been in the Premier League and I'm relishing the challenge."

Former Nottingham Forest player Clingan, 24, is preparing for Northern Ireland's World Cup qualifier against the Czech Republic at Windsor Park, and he believes that the Canaries' home faithful can have a similar influence to that of the home crowds in Belfast.

He said: "The supporters are brilliant as we get crowds of nearly 25,000, even last season when they were threatened with relegation they stayed loyal."

He has urged patience though as the club look for their first win of the season.

"We have brought a lot of players in and it might take a little bit of time to gel," he said.
