Midfielder signs new four-year deal
Norwich City Football Club have announced that midfielder Jonny Howson has signed a new four-year deal at the club.
The Canaries are set to enjoy another season back in the Premier League, following their promotion from the Championship last year, and they’ve been boosted ahead of the season opener with the news of their midfielder extending his stay.
The 27-year-old is now contracted to the East Anglian club until 2019, meaning he could stay at the club for at least seven years following his arrival from Leeds United back in 2012.
Howson has made over 100 appearances for Norwich and he revealed his delight at the new deal to the club’s official website earlier today.
Player Statement
Howson told canaries.co.uk: “I’m really pleased, especially after last season going so well.
“Since the manager has come in everyone knows how well we’ve done, and I’m excited to remain a part of that. That’s not to say it’s going to be simple, because you always have to keep working hard.
“If everyone does that then I’m sure we’ll have a good season. We had the highs of last year, but as soon as we came in during pre-season it was about getting underway again.
“We’re all really looking forward to it, as I’m sure everyone associated with the Club is. It’s a very difficult league so we’ve got to all pull in the same direction and hopefully we can get off to a good start against Crystal Palace.”
