Yobo turns 'bride' at Norwich City

NIGERIAN international Joseph Yobo is now being celebrated like a bride in the English Premier League side, Norwich City following his five-star performance since his arrival. He joined the EPL side from Fenerbahce of Turkey on loan in the January transfer window.
The Super Eagles captain on his debut against Manchester City was a delight to watch just as his presence has continued to thrill Norwich City chief executive David McNally.
Yobo was signed by the Canaries alongside Jonas Guttierrez and the duo are believed to be 'first class' signings.
"Those two were crucial reinforcements," he said. "Joseph has played 95 times for Nigeria and Jonas 22 times for Argentina and bringing them in on a short-term basis, knowing the character of these men is first class, was better for us than investing in a four-year contract on someone of less quality. That was the judgement we made.
"Having been in the game many years now, January is about short-term measures to ensure the squad is complemented rather than a wholesale re-shaping of the staff,” McNally.
The form displayed by the former Everton defender since his arrival in Norwich City also earned him a recall to the Nigeria camp for the friendly against Mexico on March 5 in the United States.
Yobo last's last international appearance was when he led Nigeria to win the 2013 Africa Cup of
Nations (AFCON) in South Africa.
