Right after inking his new deal, the Ghana-prospect glovesman has told Canaries.cou.uk: ''I want to thank God for this opportunity because I've had a difficult season. “I also want to thank the club, thank Declan [Rudd], Ricardo [Pereira] and Dan [Crofts] as well for the help to get to this point. “It's been a difficult season for myself but obviously the club are showing their trust in me, so I want to thank them and now push on.
“I've been made to feel so welcome since I got here and it feels like home now, so I can't thank everyone enough, but as I said, we've got to keep pushing and not get too comfortable. “Hopefully I can be in and around the first team more next season; help them out and obviously push the other ‘keepers for their spots.”
