Norwich City have completed the signing of Jacob Wright on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee, following his loan from Manchester City.

The England youth international has signed a long-term deal at the club, keeping him at Carrow Road until 2029 with the option of a further year.

Wright arrived at Carrow Road on transfer deadline day in February, with the Canaries now triggering their option to sign the midfielder on a permanent basis.

The 19-year-old featured in 15 Sky Bet Championship games and contributed with four assists throughout the campaign.

Joining the club on a permanent basis, Wright said: "I'm really excited, this is what I wanted when I moved here. The last couple of months that I've spent here have cemented my feelings towards the club.

"I've really enjoyed my time here and hopefully that journey can now continue."

Sporting director Ben Knapper added: "Jacob has been fantastic since joining us back in January, and his impact and performances made this an easy decision for us to make.

"He has established himself as a key member of our group already, and his potential is huge. Not only is he a very talented player, he has big leadership qualities and we’re all excited to continue working with him to help him achieve his potential and support us in striving towards our goals as a club."

The deal will officially complete on Sunday, June 1.
