Norwich City have denied they are interested in signing Exeter midfielder Ryan Harley.

The club issued a statement on its website yesterday in which it strongly rebuffed the link for the highly-rated playmaker and speculation it could affect the future of Wes Hoolahan, who is believed to be out of contract at the end of the season. “The club can emphatically confirm we are not interested in signing Harley – and that Wes Hoolahan is a key player for us and a very highly valued member of the Norwich City squad,” said the City statement.
