Rowland signs first pro deal

Academy scholar Sonny Rowland has signed his first professional contract with Norwich City.

Midfielder Rowland joined the Canaries from Watford’s youth set-up in 2022 and is part of Greg Crane’s Under-18s squad.

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

Rowland said: “I’m absolutely delighted to sign my first professional contract for the club. It’s the right step in the right direction for me as a player. It’s something I’ve been working to my whole life.

“I like to break up play, I like getting stuck in, but I also enjoy getting on the ball and playing forward and creating chances.”
