Former Canaries striker Danny Crow has signed for Cambridge United. Crow, 22, who had his contract cancelled by Peterborough earlier this month, put pen to paper on a deal that will keep him at Cambridge until May, 2010.
The Yarmouth-born striker, who made four senior appearances - three of them in the Premier League - for Norwich, had a good first season at London Road when he scored 17 goals, but has fallen out of favour with current manager Darren Ferguson.
Cambridge manager Gary Brabin said: “He's got a great touch, he holds things up. I think he'll be the perfect foil for our other strikers.
“Danny is someone I've watched over the years and he's someone Paul (Carden, captain-assistant manager) played with at Peterborough when he first came on to the scene and he was hot property at the time.

“A lot of big clubs were interested in him then, but for one reason or another he has fallen by the wayside for the last 12 months.
“He was unlucky with injuries and I don't think he got on with the new management at Peterborough and he has been frozen out a bit.
