Norwich City play their second pre-season fixture of the 2023/24 campaign, making the short trip to face King's Lynn Town on Saturday, July 8.

The Canaries kicked off their pre-season preparations on Tuesday evening, as they drew 1-1 away to Barnet.

This will be the Linnets' first game of their pre-season campaign, ahead of the Vanarama National North season.

The opposition

King's Lynn Town finished in second place in the National North last season, only two points behind eventual champions, AFC Fylde.

They were beaten by Kidderminster Harriers in the play-offs, meaning they were unable to secure promotion into the fifth tier.

One to Watch

Jack Smith

A summer signing from Stevenage, midfielder Jack Smith will look to impress during his debut season with the Linnets.

The midfielder made the switch from Stevenage, and has had previous spells at Braintree Town, Kettering Town, and Dartford.

The Manager

Mark Hughes

Taking over initially as interim manager following Tommy Widdington's departure, Mark Hughes was appointed manager on a full-time basis in mid-May.

As a player, Hughes had notable spells at Barnet and Chester City. He later had coaching roles at both Cheshunt and Billericay Town.

He joined King's Lynn as first-team coach in January 2022, before stepping up into the manager's role after Widdington left for Aldershot Town.

Last Time Out

The two sides met in pre-season last summer, with Norwich claiming a 2-0 win.

Teemu Pukki and Christos Tzolis were on the scoresheet as the Canaries continued the 2022/23 pre-season preparations with a win at The Walks.
