Jarvis senior signs on

Nigel Worthington's efforts to secure Norwich's promising young talent continued today with the news that Ryan Jarvis has agreed a deal up to the summer of 2008.<br><br>

The striker, from Fakenham, has struggled to make an impact on the first team this season after a succession of injuries, but hopes to be involved in the club's Championship run-in now that the hopes of promotion have been extinguished. He also harbours ambitions of playing alongside his younger brother for the senior side.<br><br>

Manager Worthington stressed that the door to the first team dressing room is open to Jarvis if he can fulfil his potential over the next couple of seasons.<br><br>

“Ryan has had a difficult period over the last 12 months with injury, but we all know what potential he's got,” said Worthington. “This two-year contract extension offers him the chance to go and show what he's capable of and work towards a regular place in the starting eleven.”<br><br>
