Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo has joined  Premier League outfit Norwich City on loan.
Fenerbahçe have released a statement confirming that the defender will join the Canaries until the end of the season.

The statement reads: "Joseph Yobo will join Norwich City on loan until the end of the season.

"Fenerbahçe football club would like to thank Yobo for his services to the club, his professional attitude and setting a great example to the younger members of the squad with his strong family values.

"We hope Yobo does well at Norwich City."

Yobo, 33, played for Standard Liege, Marseille, Tenerife and Everton before joining Fenerbahce in August 2010. Initially joining Everton on loan from Marseille, he made a total of 258 appearances in all competitions for the Toffees and scored ten goals.

Commenting on the transfer City boss Chris Hughton said: "As most know we’ve got a problem with Michael Turner, who’s got a hamstring pull which will continue to keep him out for a fair amount of time, so it’s an area we needed to fill.

“Of course what Joseph is about is that he’s someone who knows this division very well, and has great experience."
