Eight goals in fifteen appearances for Norwich following his £2.75 million transfer window move in January 2006. This diminutive Welsh international striker made an immediate impact on the Carrow Road crowd with his goalscoring exploits and extravagant goal celebrations. Quick off the mark, he is an absolute livewire when the ball is in and around the penalty area, with his career goalscoring record highlighting his predatory instincts. He possesses tremendously quick feet and his ability to outwit his opponent in confined spaces or crowded penalty areas will always allow him to create chances for himself.
