Norwich boss Hughton sorry to lose Steer to Aston Villa

Norwich City boss Chris Hughton is disappointed to have lost goalkeeper Jed Steer.

Steer has agreed to move to Aston Villa, with compensation still to be ironed out between the two clubs.

"Yes, I was sad to see him go," said Hughton. "We did offer him a contract but we all know that is the nature of the game. You can do your best that you can but ultimately it is down to the players. I was disappointed to lose Jed but what we have managed to do is get Declan (Rudd) out on a season-long loan, which will be great for him and his development.

"We expect him to come back a better keeper. Yes, we are in the market for a third keeper and that will give us three senior boys here."
