Gunn 'wasn't given reason' for Norwich release
- Published
Goalkeeper Angus Gunn says he wasn't given an explanation by Norwich City on the decision not to offer him a new contract.
The Scotland international spent four years as a permanent player at Carrow Road after a previous loan spell and played his final game for the club in the 4-2 win over Cardiff on Saturday.
Gunn says there "wasn't really a conversation" about his future and only had a "two-minute" chat with sporting director Ben Knapper last week in which he was told the Canaries wouldn't be putting a new deal on the table.
"There wasn't a reason that I got," Gunn told BBC Radio Norfolk.
"Obviously the club just want to go down a different route and I accept that and appreciate that.
"As a fan and player, I would've liked a conversation to see what we could do.
"But I'm a professional as well and I know what I'm worth and if this club is not going to align with that then I'm happy to go elsewhere."
The 29-year-old questioned the club's approach but said he's "really enjoyed" playing for the team he supported as a child.
"We've seen it last year with a few of the lads, they left it until after the play-off games to let them know and I don't think that's the way to do it," Gunn said.
"Maybe that's something they might look at or that's just the way they do it, I don't know.
"I managed to play in the Premier League for Norwich, I managed to play in the play-off semi-final.
"There are lots of special moments. There's not really one I can pinpoint but just the whole experience of playing for my boyhood club has been really special."
Gunn said it was also a "great period to enjoy" for his father Bryan, who spent 12 years with Norwich from 1986 to 1998.
"For me to achieve what I've achieved here and play 172 games, I'm just happy I'm making my family proud," Gunn added.
