In the final instalment of our 2023-24 report card series, Samuel Seaman takes a closer look at Norwich City's supporting cast.
Sam McCallum
Although he started the campaign firmly behind fellow left-back Dimitris Giannoulis, it became a breakout season for the 23-year-old at Carrow Road.
First he impressed in fits and starts, coming in where necessary to make vital goal contributions and hold firm the East Anglian derby, before he was given the chance to shine consistently when Giannoulis was absent through injury.
He largely did that, and his departure as a free agent leaves a bitter taste in some fans' mouths.
Adam Idah
The season will likely be defined by Idah for his loan spell at Celtic, where he had the first-team trust he sought, won trophies and scored dramatic late goals.
It was also his best term for Norwich, however, his seven Canaries goals including memorable late strikes against Cardiff and Bristol City. The future is unclear, but a departure feels more likely than a Carrow Road stay.
Grant Hanley
Although his Euro 2024 participation hints at a brighter future, it was a campaign to forget at club level for the City skipper. In the few appearances his fitness allowed he looked off the pace and struggled to hit the heights he has previously.
He was self-aware enough to know he needed to build his sharpness, however, and could be all the better for it come the Championship kick-off.
Kellen Fisher
A promising start to life in Norfolk for the 20-year-old, even if his game time did tail off toward the run-in.
The raw materials are clearly there, as his England under-20 call-up showed, and it's hoped Johannes Hoff Thorup's renowned youth development can take him to the next level.
Sydney van Hooijdonk
A disastrous loan spell for all parties. His capture looked exciting given the stats he wracked up in the Eredivisie, but the reason Serie A side Bologna allowed him to depart became clear fairly quickly.
Wasn't a David Wagner player, and ended up slipping behind career midfielder Liam Gibbs in the striking pecking order. A smart assist for Christian Fassnacht against Cardiff was the high point.
George Long
Proved a reliable second choice in cup games against Fulham and Bristol Rovers, but looked ropey when an Angus Gunn injury meant a spell in the Championship side.
No harm in having an experienced head in the changing room, but has a job on his hands to earn an extension to his current contract beyond next summer's expiration.
Tony Springett
Stuck around in the first half of the campaign with Borja Sainz out injured and Wagner less clear on what his best side was.
Always worked hard and showed flare in flashes, but drifted into the periphery and was allowed to join Northampton Town on loan in January.
Jaden Warner
Woke fans up to his talents with a fine senior debut at Fulham, but only received the resulting rewards when injuries made his selection absolutely necessary.
Looked solid if imperfect in league games against Cardiff and Blackburn before being shipped out on loan to Notts County. Now finds himself in a densely populated centre-back battle with his fellow City youngsters.
Adam Forshaw
Another signing that didn't work out before a swift exit, Adam Forshaw could be the answer to the perfect Norwich City quiz question in years to come.
Solidified the midfield in the second half of the 6-2 drubbing by Plymouth Argyle, but struggled to keep up with the speed of subsequent matches before joining the Pilgrims in January.
Hwang Ui-jo
May have been remembered more fondly had his short time at Norwich not been marred in legal issues and amid a terrible spell of form.
Scored some impressive goals, chiefly against Watford in November, and earned a fan in Wagner, whose system he suited far more than successor van Hooijdonk. Technically a decent player, but nowhere near as impactful as Josh Sargent.
Danny Batth
It was hard not to feel sorry for Batth, whose work ethic was impeccable and who had joined the club as a member of the Championship team of the season.
Mustered only five league starts, but proved reliable in them and retained superb professionalism throughout.
