Hatters move for keeper

Stockport County have signed Norwich City goalkeeper Joe Lewis on loan until the end of the season.
The Hatters have moved to sign the teenage keeper with Wayne Hennessey's loan stay at Edgeley Park from Wolves set to end after the Easter Monday clash with Chester City.
Lewis, 19, has represented England at youth level and Canaries boss Peter Grant believes the chance to play first-team football will help his education.
"Joe has been playing well for the reserves, but with Tony Warner and Paul Gallacher in the squad, I felt it would be beneficial for him to get games in a first-team environment," he told the club's official website.
"Stockport are going well and have a good chance of reaching the play-offs, so if he does play he will be tested both mentally and physically in a way which reserve team football just cannot offer."
