Cardiff City confirm Jordan Hugill signing from Norwich City as he says it's 'nice to be at a club that values me'

Jordan Hugill says it's "nice to be at a club that values me" after signing a short-term loan deal with Cardiff City.

Hugill spent the first half of the season at West Brom on loan from parent club Norwich City.

That agreement was terminated early and the striker will now spend the rest of the campaign in south Wales with the Bluebirds.

Speaking at The Vale Resort, Hugill, who will wear the number nine shirt, said: "I'm delighted to be here. It's nice to be at a club that values me.

"I'm really appreciative of that. I can't wait to get firing.

"I'm looking forward to the fight. I feel like we're in a bit of a false position at the moment. We've got a bunch of great players.

"I just want to get involved. I'd like to think I offer something different to what is already here and I'm really looking forward to getting my head down, fighting and scoring some goals."

It's the second Cardiff signing of the weekend after Alfie Doughty put pen to paper on a loan contract in the Welsh capital from Stoke City.

Hugill becomes Cardiff's fourth January signing, joining Doughty, Cody Drameh from Leeds United and Tommy Doyle from Manchester City.

In a statement, Norwich said: "Norwich City forward Jordan Hugill has completed a loan move to Cardiff City.

"Hugill spent the first half of the 2021/22 season on loan at West Bromwich Albion.

"He made 20 Championship appearances for the Baggies this season and scored one goal.

"For Norwich, Hugill has five goals in 34 games in all competitions.

"Everyone at Norwich City wishes Jordan the very best for the rest of the season."
