Cardiff City sign Norwich striker Jordan Hugill and Stoke's Alfie Doughty on loan
- Published
West Ham paid Preston a reported £10m fee for Jordan Hugill in 2018
Cardiff City have signed striker Jordan Hugill on loan from Norwich City until the end of the 2021-22 season.
Norwich recalled the 29-year-old from his loan at West Bromwich Albion, who brought in ex-England international Andy Carroll.
Hugill's move is Cardiff's second arrival of the weekend after they also signed Alfie Doughty on loan from Stoke City until the end of the season.
Doughty, 22, can play on the left side and has played full-back.
Cardiff boss Steve Morison had said he did not want to wait until Monday's transfer deadline to add to his squad.
Hugill is a centre-forward with vast experience at Championship level, and helped the Canaries to promotion to the Premier League last season.
This term the former West Ham target man has made seven starts and 12 substitute appearances for the Baggies, scoring once.

Struggling Cardiff had hoped to initiate the return of Wolves loanee Ryan Giles, who was recalled by the Premier League club earlier this month.
But that did not materialise, so Morison turned to Doughty.
Doughty joined Stoke in February 2021 from Charlton, but has been restricted to 11 substitute appearances in their Championship campaign this season.
