Hamilton signs two year deal

Bryan Hamilton: Hoping to turnaround Canary fortunes
Norwich City have appointed former Northern Ireland boss Bryan Hamilton as manager on a permanent basis.

Hamilton had been working as a caretaker coach at the former European campaigners since Bruce Rioch parted company with the club last month.

Hamilton's first game in charge saw Norwich win 2-0 at arch-rivals Ipswich, although they were beaten at home by the First Division's bottom club, Swindon, in his next match and have remained in mid-table since

The former international boss has been vying to get back into full-time management since being replaced as NI boss by Lawrie McMenemy.
