Norwich City have signed goalkeeper Dan Grimshaw from Plymouth Argyle for an undisclosed fee.

The 27-year-old made 21 Championship appearances for the Devon side last season after joining from Blackpool in August.

Grimshaw, who has signed a three-year deal, becomes new Norwich boss Liam Manning's first signing and has played under him previously during a loan spell at Belgian club Lommel SK in the 2020-21 season.

The former Manchester City trainee endured a difficult campaign at Plymouth, including conceding six goals in a hammering at Carrow Road in November, before being replaced by the returning Conor Hazard in January.

"I've known of the interest for a little while and as soon as I heard about it, it was a place I really wanted to come - a big club with big ambitions, so it matched what I wanted to do," Grimshaw told Norwich's club website., external

"We want to push for promotion - I'm here to give everything I have and hopefully we'll achieve that together."

The Canaries released previous first-choice goalkeeper Angus Gunn at the end of the season after they finished 13th in the Championship table.
