Norwich City have confirmed that West Brom striker John Hartson will be joining the Canaries on a one-month loan deal, with the possibility of extending this until December 31.
Speaking on the new addition to his squad, City's Caretaker Manager Jim Duffy told the club's official website: “I am delighted to sign a player with John's experience. The situation we are in demands players who know how to operate in the positions they play. John fits the bill, is a strong character and has a proven track record at the very highest level.”
The 32 year-old Swansea born forward joined the Baggies from Celtic on a two-year deal at the beginning of last season scoring twice on his debut against Hull.
He began his career at Luton as a trainee before moving to Arsenal and then West Ham, where he notched up 33 goals in 73 appearances before moving to Wimbledon for a then club record fee of £7.5 million in January 1999.

The 2005-05 season saw him score 20 goals in 41 games for Celtic before he moved to The Hawthorns for an undisclosed fee.
