Everton, Man City great Royle joins Norwich

Norwich City have appointed Joe Royle as their new football consultant following their relegation from the Premier League.

The 65-year old former Everton, Manchester City, Bristol City and Canaries striker has joined Neil Adams' backroom staff which also consists of first-team coaches Gary Holt and Mark Robson.

Royle has a rich management history which includes winning the 1995 FA Cup with Everton, the 1991 Football League second division title with Oldham Athletic and the 1999 second division play-off final with City.

Of the appointment, Carrow Road boss Adams said: "Joe is someone who I have played for at both Championship and Premier League level and he has amassed a vast amount of knowledge during his time in the game.

"He has been there, seen it and done it so to speak, and has also been very successful during his time as both a player and a manager."
