Norwich sign Premier League stopper

Norwich have signed Everton goalkeeper John Ruddy on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old, who spent time on loan at Motherwell last season, joined Everton in the summer 2005 before eventually making his debut for the Toffees against Blackburn in February 2006.

Ruddy also enjoyed loan spells at Walsall, Rushden, Chester, Stockport, Wrexham, Bristol City and Crewe during his time at Goodison Park.

Meanwhile, City's trip to Reading on Saturday November 13 has been moved to a 5.20pm kick-off after being chosen by Sky Sports for live broadcast.
