dailyrecord.co.uk:

Goalkeeper Jon McCracken has signed a season-long loan deal at Premiership newcomers Dundee and says boss Tony Docherty telling him to fight for the jersey convinced him on the move.The 23-year-old from Wishaw moved to Carrow Road from Hamilton Accies in 2016, signing professionally in 2021, but has yet to play for their first team, and has been loaned out at Irish side Bohemians and at Stevenage in England.McCracken told Dundee's website: "It feels great.

There has been a bit of interest for a while now, so I'm glad to get it done and be here."I spoke to the gaffer quite a few times over the last couple of weeks and once I spoke to him ny mind was pretty much made up on where I wanted to go."It was just a matter of getting the green light from Norwich to come up."The gaffer said 'you'll come in and fight for your jersey' and that was my mind made up."I am hoping for a successful season for my personally and the club.

I am aiming to get as many games as I can, and hopefully help Dundee to get as many clean sheets as possible." Boss Tony Docherty said: "He is an extremely talented young goalkeeper from Norwich who they rate very highly.

He now just needs to get to that next stage in his career, in terms of his development, so we are delighted to have him on board."He's a big character, a great personality and from what we've heard and seen of him, we are very impressed."I've said to Jon he's in a fight for the jersey and that number one spot, and that's what I want all over the squad, that competition.
