Lita has played four times for Reading this season

Norwich have signed Reading striker Leroy Lita on a one-month loan.

The deal for the 23-year-old covers six games up to the fixture against Burnley on 1 November.

Canaries manager Glenn Roeder said of the former England Under-21 player: "I can't tell you how pleased I am to get the services of Leroy.

"He has scored some fantastic goals in the Championship and Premier League and I believe he will take the chances that we have not been converting."

Lita scored 29 goals in his first two seasons at Reading but has since failed to make an impact for the Royals this term.
