Newly-promoted Norwich City have confirmed that Timm Klose has agreed a new deal that will keep him at Carrow Road for the next three years.

The popular centre-back was out of contract this summer and it appeared as though he may be on the move.

However, the Canaries announced on their website that a new contract has been signed as they gear up for life in the Premier League. And, it's fair to say Klose is pleased to be extending his stay in Norfolk.

"I'm delighted we are playing in the Premier League next year and that was one of the reasons why I’ve chosen to stay in Norwich.

"I love it here and I really feel at home. It’s the first time in my career I can say that, that I feel at home somewhere else other than back in Switzerland. That was another reason why I wanted to stay."

The 31-year-old had to settle for a place on the bench for most of 2019 due to the form of Ben Godfrey alongside captain Christoph Zimmermann.

But, he still featured 31 times this season, with Daniel Farke often turning to Klose to help see games out as a late substitute.

The Verdict

This is good news for Norwich and the fans are sure to be happy that Klose has been rewarded with a new deal.

He seems like a very respected figure in the dressing room and his experience means that even if he doesn't play he can be a positive influence at the club.

That will be vital next season as they make a big step up, which will be a new challenge to many younger players.
