Norwich City academy midfielder Adian Manning has signed a contract extension until June 2025, with an option for an extra year.

Signing his new deal, Manning said: "I'm feeling good, it's an amazing feeling. Obviously, I haven't been here too long, but I think I've done well and settled in and I'm happy to sign a new deal.

"The players and the coaching staff have been fantastic with me. The city is nice, it's a bit different to London as it's quiet. But I think I've settled in well."

Since joining the Canaries in the summer after leaving Watford, Manning has been a regular for Alan Neilson's side in the Premier League 2 and has been involved in training with the first-team.

"I think I've played well so far, and there's still loads I can improve on. I've got on the scoresheet a couple of times and got some assists.

"I feel like my individual performances have been good, but there's still more I can carry on with and improve on.

"Training with the first-team is good for my development. You can see the small details and it's good for me to learn these things and take them on and apply them to my game as well."

Manning highlights Kenny McLean as one particular player he looks up to in the Norwich squad, and spoke about his aspirations moving forward.

"I'd say I look up to all of them, but in my position I'd say Kenny McLean. He's so professional, you can see he's a true leader. I'd say he's one I look up to.

"I just take everyday as it comes. We've got training again, I'll put my all into that."
