The 19-year-old has sealed a deal at Carrow Road until the summer of 2030 after an undisclosed fee – believed to be seven figures – was agreed with Brighton & Hove Albion.
McConville started his career at Linfield before he secured a move to the Seagulls in 2021.
In the 2021–22 season, Norwich finished last in the Premier League, a situation McConville intends to end.
The Canaries are currently 8th in the Championship table, just two points shy of the play-off places.
McConville told Norwich City’s official website: “I feel it’s the right move for me at the right time. I’m buzzing to get started and to get in and meet everyone.
Ben Knapper, Norwich City’s sporting director, stated: “We are thrilled to welcome Ruairi and his family to Norwich City. He is an incredibly impressive young man with great leadership potential, and culturally we feel he will fit in very well with what we are building here.” “On the pitch, his qualities are well suited to our playing style, and his footballing education will give him a great foundation to transition into our environment effectively.” “After speaking with Johannes (Hoff Thorup, manager) and seeing how he plays, we’re both ambitious and have the same goals; I’m excited to work with him and hopefully we can get back into the Premier League.”
