McNamee makes Norwich move permanent

Posted on: Mon 04 Jan 2010

Swindon Town take on Gillingham on Saturday 16th January with matchday hospitality available from just £35 per person, including a match ticket and food! Call 0844 880 1094 for details or to make a booking.

Danny Wilson has conducted his first transfer dealing of the January window by selling winger Anthony McNamee to Norwich City for an undisclosed fee.

The winger has been at Carrow Road for just over a month on a loan basis, and today put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half-year deal with Paul Lambert's side.

McNamee has made just two substitute appearances for The Canaries thus far, but will be hoping to make a greater impact now he has made the move permanent.

The 26-year-old joined Swindon Town in January 2008 from Watford for an undisclosed fee.

He enjoyed his best season in a Watford shirt in 2005/06, when he helped Aidy Boothroyd's side to an improbable promotion to the Barclays Premiership.

With a mixture of starts and substitute appearances to his name the young winger took part in over 40 games, scoring just once in the 3-1 Vicarage Road win over near neighbours QPR in November 2005.

Previously McNamee was used almost exclusively as a replacement by former Hornet's manager Ray Lewington after he burst onto the first-team scene near the end of the Gianluca Vialli 2001/02 season.

McNamee spent time on loan at Crewe Alexandra during the 2006/07 Premiership campaign, but returned to play a part in Boothroyd's Championship squad.

The winger offered both pace and trickery down the flanks soon after signing for Town and fans took great delight at a number of Man of the Match performances.

A fans' favourite at The County Ground, 'Macca' quickly became one of the trickiest customers in League One and will be hoping to re-discover his best form at Carrow Road.
