Marshall capture confirmed

Last updated : 04 July 2007 By Rick Lamb
The shape of the Norwich squad for next season looks distinctly more fleshy after a second new signing in 24 hours was announced.

Celtic goalkeeper David Marshall has signed a three-year deal and is likely to become City's number 1, although he will face competition from fellow new signing Matthew Gilks.

Marshall, 22, played just short of 50 times for the Bhoys, but has been unable to oust Polish incumbent Artur Boruc since the arrival of Gordon Strachan. Marshall made his debut with a shut out against Barcelona in the Champions League, a feat he later repeated, and has played for his country.

City are also expected to unveil David Strihavka from Banik Ostrava, with the Czech club's website leading with a story about the striker's impending depature to Carrow Road.
