DAMIEN DUFF has hailed James Norris as the final piece in Shelbourne’s jigsaw.
The Liverpool left-back has completed a loan move to the Drumcondra club until the end of the season.
Norris, 21, made two first-team appearances under Jurgen Klopp and spent last season on loan with Tranmere Rovers.
The ex-England youth international has been on the bench three times during the current campaign but has not been called upon by Arne Slot.
Duff said: “We will never look to stand still hence we have continuously looked to add to the squad. With James coming in I think we can safely say we have strengthened all units of the squad now.
“James has made his debut for Liverpool but it is time for him to go out and grow more. He is a very attacking, technical player who can help us build the game in many different ways.
“I’ve loved watching him from afar and I can’t wait to see him up close and personal. There is a deep rooted connection between Dublin and Liverpool so I have no doubt that Chuck will feel right at home.”
Norris will compete with Kameron Ledwidge – who started at left-back against Derry City on Friday – and the currently-injured Tyreke Wilson for a place in the team.
Norris said: “I am absolutely delighted to sign for Shelbourne. I can’t wait to get going, work under the manager and his staff. I am really excited to play in Tolka Park and bring more success to the club and fans.”
