Mundle signs first professional contract

Academy scholar Rio Mundle has signed his first professional contract with Norwich City.

Mundle joined the club after previous spells with Leyton Orient and Tottenham Hotspur and is part of Greg Crane’s Under-18s squad.

The 17-year-old has signed a professional deal until 2027.

Mundle said: "It feels amazing, it's something that me and my family have been working towards ever since I could kick a ball. It's such a surreal moment for me and my family.

"I can play in a couple of positions. Right-back or in midfield are my favourite to play. I like to think I'm confident on the ball, ready at any time and I like to drive with the ball and get forward. I'm a very forward-thinking player."
