Norwich City's Jacob Murphy has signed a new four-and-a-half year deal at the club.

The 21-year-old, who came up through the club's academy alongside his twin brother Josh, will stay at Carrow Road until 2021.

He's made 16 appearances for Norwich's first team this season. The first of those came at the start of August, when he scored in their 4-1 win at Blackburn Rovers.

I’m over the moon as it’s a big achievement for myself.

I’ve been here since I was 11, which is ten years now. I couldn’t be more happy to be signing for my boyhood club.

To get this deal done is just amazing for me. The path now is for me to continue my form and to improve as a player.
