Power Signs New Norwich Deal

The dotted line…

veryone here was excited and delighted last January when local lad Simon Power signed with Norwich FC way over there.

And now, having proven himself somewhat invaluable to the club’s Development Squad, Power has signed on the dotted line again.

This will see the 20-year-old winger staying with Norwich until 2021, with an option for a further year, whilst Power will also join Dutch second-tier side FC Dordrecht on loan for the rest of the season.

Speaking on the new signing, Simon says, “I suppose I’m a bit relieved to have signed the new deal, and I’m looking forward to the future now. Playing at Norwich has been really different from playing university football. But it didn’t take me long to settle in. 

“I was told my physique needed to get better when I first started as I was quite skinny, but the Academy have helped me a lot, and I’ve become more of an athlete now.”

The move to Dordrecht will see the Greytones lad regularly playing in front of crowds of 4,000 home team fans. “It will be a different but good experience to play in front of so many people,” finishes Power. “I’m excited to learn about the Dutch way of playing. I think it can only benefit my game.

“The next few months should be very exciting…”
