Roeder On Solid Grounds!

Last updated : 07 January 2009 By Boro Mad

Grounds joined the Canaries in September but was recalled by Gareth Southgate a month later to cover for injuries.

He has now returned to Carrow Road for two months, though Southgate does have the option of a 24-hour recall clause.

Roeder: "It's a position that we've known we've needed to fill will Gary Doherty being the only fit, natural centre-back at the club.

"Jonathan did extremely well with us prior to Christmas and we know what we're getting - an exceptional player and character."
