Derby County and England Under-21 international goalkeeper Lee Camp joined Norwich City on a three month loan on 8th September 2006. Following the transfer of Robert Green to West Ham United in August 2006, and an injury to young reserve Joe Lewis, Norwich were left with only Paul Gallacher and Steve Arnold as fit goalkeepers. Hence the swoop for Camp. Although rumours speculated that Camp would be eventually joining the Canaries permanently, this was dismissed by manager Nigel Worthington;

“There has been nothing discussed at this moment in time, purely a three-month loan. He is back-up, support and competition for the number one. He will provide us with cover for Paul Gallacher and allow Joe Lewis plenty of time to recover from his injury. He has got experience - he has played quite a few league games. He is a young player with good potential and I am pleased he is coming here and we can have a close look at him over the next three months and assess it at the end of that.”

Camp said "I'm ambitious and want to play and for whatever reason I'm not playing at Derby any more. Norwich have given me the opportunity to come and develop and hopefully I will be fighting and pushing myself into the first team. That will be a test because Paul Gallacher has had a good start to the season and is a Scottish international. Hopefully I can put a bit of pressure on him and, if the worst comes to the worst, just get the best out of him.”

Camp graduated from Derby's academy side making his debut at the end of the 2002/3 season, although he had been loaned to Burton Albion before then. He went out on loan the following season, playing a dozen games for QPR. He made 40 appearances for the Rams in 2005/6 and has 95 first team starts to his total. His last game was the 4-3 defeat at Colchester last month. His appearance in Derby's 1-0 Carling Cup win at Stockport means he is cup-tied. With the arrival of Stephen Bywater, on loan from West Ham, Camp's chances had been limited especially with competition from Lee Grant

Peter Grant's arrival as Norwich manager saw Lee drop down the pecking order at Carrow Road as Grant brought in Jamie Ashdown on loan from Portsmouth. Camp looked to be departing from Carrow Road without a game but Ashdown's reluctance to extend his loan stay and an injury to Paul Gallacher saw Camp make his debut in the 3-1 home win over Leicester on 28th November 2006. Lee returned to Derby in early December 2006

In early February 2007, Lee was loaned once again to QPR. He returned to Derby early, on 25 April 2007, after a suspension to Stephen Bywater left the Rams short of goalkeepers. Lee returned to QPR for a third time on 27th July 2007 when QPR paid £300,000 for him.
