While Peter Thorne’s main role will be as back up to
Dean Ashton, the muscular frontman will be a valuable asset
in the Canaries’ promotion challenge after joining on
a free transfer – although his fee will rise to £200,000
if City go up in the next two seasons. Thorne has been a consistent
goalscorer throughout his career and is an ideal replacement
for the departed Mathias Svensson.
