TODD Cantwell is one of our own, but his pathway to the Norwich City first-team squad was one less trodden.
The Dereham-born midfielder spent all of his youth career with the Canaries, but needed a loan move to develop his game.
Loan manager Neil Adams felt that Cantwell wasn't best-suited to playing for any other English clubs, and instead opted to exploit the Dutch league.
Cantwell was sent to Fortuna Sittard and helped his new side earn promotion to the Eredivisie.
Following that successful loan spell, Cantwell returned to Norwich and was pivotal in their Championship-winning 2018-19 season, before earning a callup to the England Under-21s side in August 2019.
