He then completed a move to Bodo\/Glimt and spent four seasons there, although he did not make an appearance in the first two, instead spending time on loan at Alta.<\/p>\n<p>He made 27 appearances in the third season plus a further six in cup competitions. All three of his goals that season came in the cup.<\/p>\n<p>Normann has already come to England once in his career having signed for Brighton &amp; Hove Albion in 2017. He spent his first season at the club back on loan in Norway with Molde and eventually left the club without making an appearance.<\/p>\n<p>He signed for Rostov in 2019 and went on to appear 52 times for the club in the Russian Premier League.<\/p>\n<h3>Normann Excited for Norwich Move<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking to the club website about his move, Normann said: \u201cI\u2019m glad to be at this club and happy to be here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will be very exciting for me. I know that <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/01\/17\/doncaster-rovers-josh-martin-loan\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Norwich<\/a> play very good football and they like to keep the ball. They have a lot of energy. I spoke a little bit to the head coach [Daniel Farke] and everything looks very good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a defensive midfielder, I like to tackle, to win the ball and to use my body. I like to be on the ball and try to dictate the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I\u2019m ready for this level now and I\u2019m really looking forward to the challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"cmoRLIG0Q0JZTPc59-YnPQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1229736884\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'cmoRLIG0Q0JZTPc59-YnPQ',sig:'VVQRUU1Zna_5GfBk4yQHNmhfPBtbzZvnE39fzDC7UtA=',w:'594px',h:'418px',items:'1229736884',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Norwich City have completed the signing of Norway international Mathias Normann from Russian side FC Rostov.
