Adam Idah has signed a new contract at Norwich City, extending his stay at the club until June 2024.
The Republic of Ireland striker made both his Premier League and senior international debuts this year and looks to be a key part of Stephen Kenny's plans going forward.
Idah scored a hat-trick against Preston North End in the third round of the FA Cup last season and also scored a penalty in the shootout against Tottenham Hotspur in the competition's fifth round.
Speaking on signing the new contract, Idah said: “I’m over the moon. When I found out the news, I knew straight away that I wanted to extend my contract with the club because since I’ve come here, I’ve loved every moment of it.
“I love the club and it’s like a second family to me. Everyone’s been backing me since the minute I came here and it reminds me a lot of home. Norwich is so similar to Cork because everyone here is so friendly, not just at the club but out in public.
“I’ve developed a lot as a player and come up through every age group since I was 16. I still just want to get better and keep developing and I think this is the best place for me to do that.”
Norwich head coach Daniel Farke added: “It’s great news for both parties. We have a great lad and a player with lots of potential. He knows he has people who trust him and we’re a club who gives a stage to young players.
“He was capable of being called up to Republic of Ireland’s first team as well. He can play in several positions and we wanted to give him more of a stage this season. Sadly, it was stopped by an injury, but there’s lots to come.
“He will need to improve and once he returns to team training if he can keep going with his attitude, I think he will have a great future.”
Idah is currently sidelined with a knee ligament injury that he sustained in Ireland's UEFA Nations League loss to Wales in November.
