Josh Murphy signs new Norwich deal

Norwich City youngster Josh Murphy has signed a new contract which will keep him with the Canaries until 2021, the club have confirmed.

Murphy was a member of Norwich 2013 FA Youth Cup winning side, and he and his twin brother, Jacob, have been the most exciting products from the Canaries youth system in recent years.

Murphy made his Norwich debut in 2014, coming off the bench and scoring a brace to save Norwich in the League Cup against Watford.

Murphy spoke of his happiness to sign the new deal, and told the official club website:

I’m really happy [to] get this done.  It’s another four-and-a-half years at the club I love. I’ve always wanted to play in this first-team and I’ve enjoyed every minute.

Murphy has made 15 appearances for Norwich this season, scoring two goals. His most memorable moment this campaign was his stunning goal to secure Norwich victory over Premier League giants Everton in the EFL Cup.

Norwich currently sit 10th in the Championship and are looking to escape from a bad run of form after beating Wolves 3-1 at the weekend.
