Lewis Dobbin has rediscovered his love for football at Norwich City after a difficult spell at West Bromwich Albion earlier this season.

The 22-year-old joined Aston Villa from Everton last summer before being loaned to the Baggies. However, he struggled for form under Carlos Corberán and was recalled by Villa before being sent to Carrow Road for the remainder of the season.

Dobbin has thrived at Norwich, impressing fans before a calf injury prematurely ended his campaign.

“I’m really enjoying my time here so far,” Dobbin said. “I think it’s going pretty well. The main thing has been getting my enjoyment back.

“I had a tough first half of the season and I wasn’t really enjoying my football that much. It was hard for me to really get anything going, so I came here and had a fresh start, met all the amazing people at the club, had such a fun time going into training every day.

“It really brought my smile back, and I think it showed on the pitch as well.”

Dobbin added that his move to Norwich has met his expectations.

“I had positive thoughts before joining the club, and that’s ultimately why I chose to come here in the first place,” he continued, speaking to official club channels.
