If you too support the Canaries, have a look at the four latest additions to the team. These players have had excellent track record, are would surely take the team to new heights.
Jordan Rhodes
The most recent addition to the Canaries has been that of striker Jordan Rhodes, from Sheffield Wednesday for a full season. The Scottish striker started off his career representing Ipswich Town, after which he moved to Huddersfield Town in 2009. In about 143 matches that he played at the John Smith’s Stadium, the 28-year-old scored 87 goals, out of which 36 were made in league matches of 2011-12.
Subsequently, in 2012 Rhodes was signed by Blackburn Rovers where he continued his stellar performances and scored 85 goals in four seasons. His most recent teams include Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday, and reportedly Rhodes is highly excited to wear the yellow and green jersey.
Ben Marshall
Last month, Norwich also signed Ben Marshall who is known to play both as a winger and a full-back with ease. He has been signed from Wolverhampton Wanderers for four years. Ben started his initial career with Manchester United, after which he was signed by Crewe Alexandra.
In professional matches, he has represented Stoke City, Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers. With more than 200 appearances in the Championship, Marshall also represented England’s under-21 team. A versatile player like Marshall could prove a valuable investment for the team.
Felix Passlack
20-year old Felix has been signed by Norwich FC from Borussia Dortmund for the 2018-19 season. The German is a right-sided player, mostly playing in defence and has experience of training under Farke. Starting his career at the age of 17, Felix played for BVB, and represented them in 14 matches in the Bundesliga. During European matches, he has also scored a goal against Legia Warsaw, which brought him into the limelight.
In his initial career, he represented Germany in several international matches and even captained the under-17s national team for the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup, propelling the team to the final match of the event.
Moritz Leitner
Another signing for Norwich City FC last month has been that of the 25-year-old midfielder from FC Augsburg. Leitner has been playing for the Canaries on loan last season, managing to put up a number of impressive performances, leading to a permanent deal.
Leitner has previously been managed by Farke too, who reposes trust in his technical skills and believes that he would continue to play well in the coming seasons. He was in the Borussia Dortmund’s team when the club won the Bundesliga in 2012 and has also played in the Champions League with Stuttgart and Lazio.
