Norwich bring in Wright and sign McConville

Norwich have signed Manchester City midfielder Jacob Wright on loan for the remainder of the season.

The 19-year-old has made three first-team appearances for Pep Guardiola's side, including in last season's Champions League.

The loan includes an option for the Canaries to buy the England Under-20 player at the end of the season.

Earlier on deadline day, Norwich signed Northern Ireland defender Ruairi McConville from Brighton & Hove Albion for an undisclosed fee.

The 19-year-old's only senior appearance for the Seagulls came as a substitute in their 4-0 FA Cup win at Carrow Road on 11 January.

But having come through the youth levels with Northern Ireland, the centre-back won his first international cap against Belarus last November.

McConville has signed a long-term contract with the Canaries to run until the summer of 2030.

"After speaking with Johannes (Hoff Thorup) and seeing how he plays, we're both ambitious and have the same goals," he told the Norwich website.

"I'm excited to work with him and hopefully we can get back into the Premier League."

Norwich are currently eighth in the Championship following Saturday's win over Watford, just two points outside the play-off places.

Ruairi McConville played six EFL Trophy games for Brighton's Under-21 side
