“Since Ed stepped up from the academy in 2017, he has taken the whole club goalkeeping programme to a new level and has been a key cultural architect for us.

“Ed will always be welcome back at the Lotus Training Centre and we all wish him well for the future.”

All at Norwich City would like to thank Ed for his hard work and dedication and wish him well in his future career.
