Striker, Adam Idah has signed a new contract at Norwich City until June 2028.
Idah first joined Norwich’s academy in 2017 and graduated to the senior squad two years later, in which he made his debut as the Canaries lost 1-0 to Crawley in 2019-20 League Cup.
The 21 year-old has since gone on to score nine goals in 64 senior appearances, although he has only scored twice in ten appearances this season due to injury.
Speaking about his decision to extend his contract, Idah said: “I’m over the moon. It’s exciting for me and my family. The last year and a half have been tough for me but I came back and worked hard and now the club are showing a lot of faith in me by rewarding that hard work.
“I’ve said it before, I love this club. I’ve been here since I was 15/16 and there is a big path for me to progress here and be a better player.”
Head Coach, David Wagner – who arrived in early January – has described Idah as a player who “has a raw, natural ability” and can’t wait to help him continue his development.
Norwich’s Sporting Director, Stuart Webber added that the club are “really keen to invest in our players’ development”, and views Idah’s new contract as a statement of their intention to develop the Republic of Ireland international into a top striker.
Webber though iterated that Idah still has work to do to maximise his potential, as he said: “Adam still has a lot of room for development and we are all invested in making him the player we all know he can be.
“It’s important he now remains fit and becomes a top professional. When he achieves that I have no doubt big success will follow.
“Credit must go to the medical and performance team at the Lotus Training Centre for their investment in Adam so far. I’m confident that we will see the benefits of their work.”
Idah previously played for College Corinthians at youth level before he moved to Carrow Road.
