Norwich have signed goalkeeper Ralf Fahrmann on a season-long loan from Bundesliga side Schalke.

Fahrmann brings a wealth of experience to Carrow Road having made 196 appearances in the Bundesliga and a further 40 in European competitions during his time with Schalke.

The 30-year old becomes the newly-promoted Canaries' third signing of the summer after acquiring Patrick Roberts on loan from Manchester City and striker Josip Drmic on a free transfer.

Fahrmann said: "I'm really glad and proud to sign here. To be a part of the Premier League, I think it's a wonderful thing for all, not only for me but also for the fans and supporters of Norwich City.

"There were a few clubs who showed interest in me, but Norwich gave me a very familiar feeling and that was the reason why the decision was easy for me.

"I was at my old club for a really long time, over 14 years, and it felt like it was time for something new.

Fahrmann will provide competition for Tim Krul between the sticks for Norwich and becomes the seventh German in head coach Daniel Farke's current squad.
