Preston North End will face Jordan Hugill again next season after striker joins Norwich City

The 28-year-old, who spent last season on loan at QPR last season, has signed a three-year deal with the Canaries, relegated to the Championship after finishing bottom of the Premier League last season.

He leaves the Hammers after just three substitute appearances following a £10million move from Preston in 2018.

Hugill told the club’s official website: “As soon as I knew they were interested in taking me, it was a decision that I wanted to move quickly.

“To come here is brilliant for me and my family to get settled again and hit the ground running.

“For me, the aim is to get this club back to where they want to be and for me to prove a point.

“I’m a big, physical presence who will batter a defender around, so quite old school, but I’m also a very powerful striker who can get in the box and on the end of things.

“I’m looking forward to meeting and getting to know everyone, but more importantly I’m looking forward to succeeding with everyone.”
