Andre Brooks has stepped straight into Norwich City’s pre-season work, giving Philippe Clement an immediate wide option to assess at the Avant Training Centre.
The club’s official Day One gallery confirmed that Brooks and fellow new signing Bruno Alves met their new teammates as preparations for the 2026/27 season began. For Brooks, that timing matters. Norwich confirmed his arrival from Sheffield United only six days ago, with the winger joining on a five-year deal after a strong individual campaign at Bramall Lane.
We are delighted to announce the signing of Jamaican winger Andre Brooks from Sheffield United. Welcome to Norwich City, Andre.

Brooks Gives Norwich A Live Wide-Player Test
Brooks arrives with Championship rhythm already in his legs and a profile Clement can work with quickly. Norwich’s official announcement highlighted his technical quality, athleticism and room for further development, while the club also noted his senior Jamaica debut earlier this year.
The key now is integration. ReadNorwich has already looked at how Brooks gives Clement a two-way wide option, but the first training images move the story forward. He is not waiting for the squad to settle before entering the tactical work.
That gives Clement a useful early read on Norwich’s balance before the friendlies begin. If Brooks can absorb the defensive detail quickly, he should give the Canaries a sharper right-sided option before the Championship opener against West Bromwich Albion.
For a squad being reshaped around energy, availability and repeat running power, Brooks’ first full training block is more than a photo opportunity. It is the start of a proper selection fight.
