Done deal : Promising teenage Nigerian striker signs new contract at Norwich City

Published: July 08, 2021

Premier League new boys Norwich City confirmed via their official website on Wednesday that eight players have signed professional contracts with the club.

Promising Nigeria-eligible striker Kenny Coker is among those offered new deals by the Canaries.

Coker is worth keeping an eye on as he already has five first-team appearances to his name - all of them coming in the colours of Southend United prior to his move to Norwich City in May 2021.

The teenager arrived at Norwich City on a scholarship deal and has now been rewarded with his first professional contract that ties him to the club until at least the end of the 2023-2024 season.

When Coker made his professional debut for Southend United in a League Two clash against Lincoln City on February 1, 2020, he became the third youngest player in history to represent the Shrimpers at 16-years-old.

Coker made his official debut for Norwich City U18s against Fulham on May 8 and his first goal involvement for his new employer came in a 3-2 loss to Aston Villa on the final day of the season.
