After his Sheffield United contract expired, Stockport County midfielder Ollie Norwood decided to play for the Hatters in League One before the 2024–2025 campaign.
Given that Norwood has demonstrated his class in both the Championship and the Premier League during his career, it is not surprising that he has established his value at the third-tier level for the Hatters.
He has presented himself as a successful midfield metronome over the years, leaving fans of the teams he has played for with a number of fond memories.
Most notably, Norwood played four games and provided one assist as Northern Ireland surprised everyone by making it to the Euro 2016 knockout rounds.
In addition to earning promotion to the Premier League with three separate clubs, the former Blades player has made 52 appearances for his country.
Sheffield United, Fulham, and Brighton will all cherish their memories of Ollie Norwood.
Prior to leaving Old Trafford to join Huddersfield Town in the summer of 2012, Norwood played on loan at Carlisle United, Scunthorpe United, and Coventry City.
Norwood progressed through Manchester United’s youth academy ranks but never made a senior appearance for the Red Devils.
Before being signed by Reading, another Championship team, in August 2014, he made 90 appearances for the Terriers.
During the 2015–16 season, Norwood scored three goals and provided eight assists in 43 league games for the Royals, solidifying his ability to dominate play at the second-tier level.
His tenure with the Berkshire club was mostly successful. Brighton would not regret signing the Northern Ireland international before the 2016–17 season because they were obviously impressed by his accomplishments.
