Soccer-Norwich sign defender Byram from West Ham

Norwich City has signed defender Sam Byram from West Ham United on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee, the promoted Premier League club said on Tuesday. The 25-year-old right-back, who made 36 appearances for West Ham after joining them in 2016, spent last season on loan at Nottingham Forest but missed most of the campaign due to a knee injury.

"I'm delighted. It's all happened quite fast and it's been a quick turnaround," Byram, who linked up with the Norwich squad on their pre-season camp in Germany, told https://www.canaries.co.uk/News/2019/july/sam-byram-joins-norwich-city-on-four-year-deal the club's website. "Obviously, I was not in the plans for West Ham going forward and I needed a new challenge to go out and push on after last season."

Norwich earned promotion to the English top-flight as Championship winners.
