Wolves let the shackles off Shackell
Wednesday 11th February 2009, 11:45AM GMT.
Wolves have allowed defender Jason Shackell to return to Norwich on loan for the rest of the season.
The £1m August capture from the Canaries goes back to Carrow Road having made just four starts for the Championship leaders.
He has seen his chances decrease further with the arrival of £2.3m centre-back Christophe Berra from Hearts, with 34-year-old Jody Craddock also preferred to the 25-year-old against Norwich last week.
It was a meeting between Shackell and new Norwich boss Bryan Gunn during the 3-3 draw that set up the move back to Norwich.
Gunn said: “It’s fantastic to have him back. I bumped into him at Molineux last week, realised that he wasn’t a part of (Wolves boss) Mick (McCarthy)’s immediate plans and it was an opportunity to bring in a quality player, in an area of the pitch we need to get cover.”
Shackell added: “I saw and spoke to the gaffer last Tuesday and I’m obviously happy to come back to a place I know so well. I want to play games and it’s a good opportunity for me.”
