Norwich City have signed Bournemouth's Jack Stacey on a three-year deal, effective from July 1.
The 27-year-old defender is David Wagner's second addition to the squad in the summer transfer window, following on from Ashley Barnes' arrival.
The defender's spent the last four years at Bournemouth, making 98 appearances for the Cherries of which 27 were in their 2021/22 promotion-winning campaign.
Before his spell at Bournemouth, he played for Luton Town.
At his contract signing, Stacey said: "I'm really looking forward to getting started. It's a club whose ambitions match mine.
"One of the main things I spoke about with the head coach and with Stuart (Webber) is playing intense, fast, forward football, something I believe will suit my style of play and something that I can fit into.
"I'm really excited. I feel like I'm coming into my peak years, I've got experience from being around different clubs. I want to get back to the Premier League and this is the perfect club to do that."
Norwich City head coach David Wagner added: “Jack is a player we’ve been aware of for some time. He has a lot of experience, throughout the Football League and in the Premier League, and a great attitude and desire to drive this football club forward.
“He has all of the characteristics that a modern-day full-back requires and knows exactly what it takes to be successful at this level.
“We’re delighted to have won the race to sign him, and to have got the deal done early, as we know there was a lot of interest in him.
“We look forward to welcoming him to the group when our pre-season training commences.”
