MIDFIELDER Andrew Surman joined City from Wolverhampton Wanderers on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee in June 2010.

Despite a season twice disrupted by knee injuries early on, Surman made 22 appearances for the Canaries in City's promotion year scoring three goals including the opener in that 5-1 win over Ipswich Town at Portman Road.

The 24-year-old joined Wolves in the summer of 2009 and made nine appearances in all competitions as Mick McCarthy's side finished 15th in the Premier League.

Surman came through the youth ranks at Southampton and enjoyed loan spells at Walsall and Bournemouth. He scored the winner on his first league start for Walsall in the 1-0 win over Bristol City at Ashton Gate in February 2005.

The Johannesburg-born midfielder made 14 appearances and scored twice for Walsall in 2005 and 28 appearances and six goals for Bournemouth in 2006, both in League One.

On his return to St Mary's in January 2006, the former England Under-21 international became a fixture in Southampton's Championship side and in February 2007 he scored his only career hat-trick to date in the 5-2 home win over Barnsley.

Surman scored 18 goals in 146 appearances for Southampton before his move to Wolves.
