What role will Martin play this season?

A big talking point this summer has been the role that Russell Martin has to play at Norwich this summer.

Following his performances at the back last season, many felt it was time he was replaced this summer.

Instead, Norwich handed Martin a new contract with the club, begging the question; what role will he play this season?

Norwich had one of the worst defensive records in the Championship last season with Martin starting at the back.

The club moved quickly this summer to sign centre-backs Christoph Zimmermann and Marcel Franke from Germany, but will they both be ahead of Martin this season?

Martin is almost certain to start in the season opener against Fulham, albeit at right-back.

Ivo Pinto is currently injured, leaving Martin as the club’s only senior right-back, though Ben Godfrey can fill in.
