Norwich City have beaten off competition from several UK rivals to land Dundalk defender Vinnie Leonard on a pre-contract worth at least €400,000 to the newly-promoted side. “Vinnie has embraced that journey at every stage, and we’re delighted to see him earn this opportunity at Norwich City. Meanwhile Cork City have announced the signing of AJ Bridge on loan from Norwich until the summer. “I was delighted to get the deal over the line and join Cork City," he told the club's official website. "He’s a good, creative footballer with an eye for a pass, so we are looking forward to working with him.”
