Barnett has played three times since arriving at Norwich

Leon Barnett says he has put little thought into whether he would like to stay at Norwich City permanently.

The on-loan West Brom defender, 24, is with the Canaries until January but is unsure if that will be prolonged.

He told BBC Radio Norfolk: "It's still early days and I'm just trying to play every game that I can, we'll see what happens at the end of the loan.

"At the moment I'm here until January and, as far as I know, that's what I'm here to do."

Barnett has been an ever-present since arriving from The Hawthorns to replace the injured Michael Nelson.

No-one's ever going to give you an easy time but I'm happy to be here and pleased with my performances so far Norwich City defender Leon Barnett

He has sparked a partnership with former Coventry City team-mate Elliott Ward at the heart of the Canaries defence, but insists he is not getting too comfortable.

"I don't think I've settled in, you never settle in because you've still got to fight for your place," he said.

"No-one's ever going to give you an easy time but I'm happy to be here and pleased with my performances so far."
