"We've got a problem with Michael Turner who has got a hamstring pull which will continue to keep him out for a fair amount of time," manager Chris Hughton told the club website (www.canaries.co.uk) on Thursday.

"It's an area we needed to fill. Joseph is ... someone who knows this division very well and has great experience."

Yobo has also had spells at Standard Liege, Olympique Marseille and Tenerife.
