Ched Evans has promised to deliver some teenage kicks to help get Norwich City off the bottom of the Championship table.

The 18-year-old, signed on loan from Manchester City this week, says he has the one thing in his armoury that City have been missing this season - goals.

Just 10 goals in 16 league games has left City at the bottom of the table, but the young Welshman believes he can change all that.

Evans - whose only senior appearance was in the Carling Cup win over Norwich in September - comes armed with a hatful of goals in reserve team football and a hat-trick for Wales Under-21s in midweek. Add on the confidence of youth and Glenn Roeder may just have found a star of the future.

“I have got 12 goals in eight games at Man City, I got a hat-trick last week and I'm in really good form at the moment, scoring and confident, so I think I will come here and get some goals and get them off the bottom hopefully,” said Evans .

“I am confident at the moment, I am playing well, so it will be a good opportunity for me.”

Evans' boss at the City of Manchester Stadium, Sven-Goran Eriksson has allowed the youngster out on loan after his midweek treble - but it's clearly for the Premier League club's future benefit.

“I think that is what made his mind up,” said Evans. “I spoke to him before I went away with the international squad and I don't know if he was too happy letting me out just yet.

“But the hat-trick obviously helped me come out on loan and I am pleased to be here.”

Swapping the luxuries and trappings of a top-three Premier League team for life at the bottom of the Championship wasn't as tough a decision as some might think.

“That was another reason why I came here - because I think I need challenges now,” Evans said.
