Norwich City have confirmed the signing of former Blackburn Rovers loanee Ben Chrisene.

The Aston Villa left-back has penned a permanent deal with the Canaries after his spell at Ewood Park last season. The England youth international made 16 Championship appearances for Rovers last term after signing in January.

Chrisene has inked a four-year deal at Carrow Road and will return to face Rovers next season. John Eustace's side face Norwich in their first away game of the 2024/25 season, in three week's time.

“I'm excited to be here and excited to get started," Chrisene told the club site after signing.

"The project and new direction is really exciting, not only for me but for the whole club.

“I’ve spoken to the head coach about what he wants to do. I’m really looking forward to working with him. I feel I’ve still got a lot to learn but hopefully, it gels pretty quickly and we can hit the ground running.”

Sporting director Ben Knapper added: “Ben is an exciting young player with lots of potential and further room for development.

“Physically, he has all of the attributes of a modern-day full-back. Under the guidance of Johannes and our coaching staff, we believe he can take more great steps and form a key part of our squad.

“We’re delighted to welcome Ben to our first team group and are excited to see what he can help us achieve.”
