Confirmed: Two Nigerian defenders will not wear Norwich City colours next season

With a statement published on their official website, Norwich City have confirmed their retained and released list across the development and academy setup, with decisions made on the futures of three youngsters of Nigerian descent.

The Canaries have announced that promising right-back Harmony Okwumo will leave the club upon the expiry of his contract on June 30, 2026.

Okwumo, who is also eligible to represent Germany at international level, joined Norwich City in the summer of 2024 after a successful trial.

The former Charlton Athletic youth team player gained his first taste of senior football in March when he completed a loan move to King's Lynn Town, making eight appearances for the National League North side.

Before his temporary switch to The Linnets, Okwumo featured for Norwich City in both the Premier League 2 and Premier League Cup.

Victor Madu, who was a second-year scholar during the recently concluded campaign, has also been released after not being offered a new contract.

The 18-year-old defender made nine appearances in the U18 Premier League during the 2025-26 season and was named on the bench for Norwich City's FA Youth Cup third round clash against Stoke City.

Meanwhile, American-English-Nigerian centre forward Ken Aboh has returned to Norwich City following a loan spell with Boston United.

The 21-year-old made his first-team debut for the Canaries during the 2023-24 season, coming off the bench in a 5-0 victory over Rotherham United.
