Grant Holt joins Canaries academy coaching set-up

Norwich City legend Grant Holt has joined the Canaries’ academy coaching set-up on a part-time basis, the club have confirmed.

The 37-year-old recently gained some vital managerial experience with National League side Barrow as a player-coach last season, making 23 appearances for the Bluebirds as they avoided relegation.

Holt, who scored 78 times in 168 appearances for the club in a hugely successful spell across three divisions in five years, is set to link up with the under-23 squad and all youth teams below for one day a week.

The former forward will also continue in his Commercial Ambassador role for the club alongside working with the academy, a position he began last year.

The three-time Barry Butler Memorial Trophy winner joined the Canaries from Shrewsbury Town in 2009 and went on to have brief spells with Wigan Athletic, Aston Villa, Huddersfield Town, Wolves, Rochdale and Scottish side Hibernian before taking the role at Barrow.
