Bryan Gunn has made Sheffield United's Australia international David Carney his first signing since being appointed Norwich City manager earlier this month.

The 25-year-old midfielder joins the Canaries on loan for the rest of the season after making 27 appearances for the Blades, although the last of those came five months ago.

Gunn is pleased with the signing, telling City's official website: "We've been working very hard behind the scenes and putting several phone calls into different clubs and this is the first one with a positive result.

"He's an Australian international and I feel he will add something very positive to the squad we already have.

"He has a tremendous left foot which I hope he can utilise in our games which we have coming up and he's a confident goalscorer who is technically gifted.

"He wants to come here. He hasn't featured at Sheffield United and, with the World Cup coming up in 2010, he wants to have the chance to show what he can do so he has an opportunity of a place in the Australian squad."
