# Fleetwood interested in former Norwich player Wes Hoolahan

League One outfit Fleetwood Town are lining up a move for former Norwich City midfielder Wes Hoolahan, [HITC](https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/08/22/por-fleetwood-weigh-up-hoolahan-move/) reports.

Hoolahan is currently a free agent following his departure from Norwich at the end of last season and a number of clubs, both in England and in other European leagues, are believed to be interested in signing the former Republic of Ireland international.

Hoolahan left Norwich at the end of last season after making 352 appearances in 10 years at the club.

New Fleetwood manager Joey Barton is believed to be keen on taking Hoolahan to Highbury as he looks to guide Fleetwood to the Championship.

Hoolahan could be offered a short-term contract with the League One club, with Barton believing that his experience and creativity could prove invaluable to his side.

Fleetwood have so far earned four points from their opening three League One fixtures after a busy summer transfer window for Barton’s side.
