After more than a decade and nearly 200 games with Rochdale,
25-year-old Gilks made the switch to Norwich this summer on
a Bosman-style free transfer. He came up through the ranks
at Rochdale and was firmly in place as their number one until
he decided not to take up their option of a new three-year
deal. City moved in, and around two years after first showing
an interest in Gilks, made him an offer. He is expected to
battle Marshall for a first team place this season. Looks
set to be number two to Marshall, although he is no mean keeper
and will push the former Celtic man.
