Norwich City have signed left-back Steven Smith on a two-year contract after he was released by Rangers.The 24-year-old will be free to join the Canaries on 1 July after making 74 appearances for the Scottish club.

"He's come from a massive club in Rangers and he'll fit in well here. I'm looking forward to him joining us," said manager Paul Lambert.

"He's a left-back with a terrific engine and he'll be part of a squad that will hopefully do well."

The Scot has played twice in the Champions League and five times in the Uefa Cup for Rangers.

Smith fought back from a groin problem that sidelined him for 16 months in 2006 to feature regularly in the Scottish Premier League title-winning side of 2009.

He becomes former Celtic midfielder Lambert's third close season signing after midfielder Andrew Crofts and defender Elliott Ward.
