Norwich City have completed the loan signing of winger Lewis Dobbin from Aston Villa.
The 21-year-old joins the Canaries for the remainder of the 2024/25 season and will wear the number 22 shirt.
Dobbin spent the first half of the campaign on loan at West Bromwich Albion, where he made 17 Sky Bet Championship appearances. However, he is eager to make a stronger impact at Norwich.
"It's a big opportunity, I'm excited," said Dobbin.
"I didn't have the first four or so months that I wanted this season so I'm eager to impress. The head coach has been really welcoming, he's got a clear vision for me. Hopefully, we'll have some success this season."
Norwich City sporting director Ben Knapper highlighted the qualities Dobbin brings to the squad.
"He adds some real pace to our attack and is able to play across all front line positions, providing flexibility to the way in which we can set up. We’re all really looking forward to working with him in what will hopefully be a strong second half of the season for us all."
Dobbin began his career at Everton, where he made 20 senior appearances, including 15 in the Premier League. During the 2022/23 season, he went on loan to Derby County, registering 11 goals and assists across 54 games.
Aston Villa acquired Dobbin in the summer of 2024, but he is yet to feature for the Premier League side. On the international stage, he has represented England at Under-16, Under-17, and Under-19 levels.
