Norwich City defender Brad Hills is close to secure a loan switch to League One side Stockport County, according to Darren Witcoop.

The 20-year-old centre-back is considered a top talent at Carrow Road but is deemed not quite ready for the first team yet.

Hills came through the Canaries youth system and is currently an England Under-20 international.

Last season, he was on loan at League Two side Accrington Stanley, where he played 48 games for them.

This year, Hills has made two substitute appearances for the Canaries in the Championship but now he is set for more first-team action.

And now it has been suggested that third-tier English side Stockport County are zeroing in on getting the Norwich City man on loan.

The Hatters are sitting fifth in the League One table, and the possible arrival of Hills will further boost their promotion chances.

Now it remains to be seen if the Hatters will be able to seal a deal to acquire Hills for the rest of this season.
