Morison signs up for United
Boss delighted with striker deal...
The club are delighted to announce the signing of Norwich city striker Steve Morison.
The 29-year-old joins us in an exchange deal for Luciano Becchio with a further undisclosed sum to be paid by Norwich.
Steve completed the formalities of his move on Thursday morning and has signed on a three-and-a-half year contract.
The Welsh international cost Norwich £2.8m from Millwall in June 2011 and he has netted 12 goals for the club, including 10 in the Premier League.
Steve, who has made 27 appearances this season, scored 40 goals in 95 appearances for Millwall before his move to Carrow Road.
United manager Neil Warnock said: "I'm absolutely delighted that we've been able to bring Steve in.
"Even before Luciano put in his transfer request we had enquired about Steve - he was at the top of my list in January to bring in - and I can't tell you how delighted I am.
"Steve meets all the requirements of the striker we've been looking to bring in. For me, he is a player who has everything. He can score goals from anywhere - whether it's 25 yards or a tap-in - he has pace, and he has all the attributes you want."
Becchio heads the opposite way, having spent four-and-a-half seasons with the club. Since joining in the summer of 2008, he has made 221appearances, scoring 86 goals.
