I'm happy to continue on Norwich journey - Wright
Jacob Wright speaks to The Scrimmage podcast about his future

Midfielder Jacob Wright says he is "hopeful" of remaining at Norwich City to help the club return to the Premier League next season.
The 19-year-old joined on loan from Manchester City in February with an option for the Canaries to sign him on a permanent deal at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.
Boss Johannes Hoff Thorup said last week that Norwich were in a "strong position" to sign Wright, who has also previously indicated his desire to move to Carrow Road permanently.
When asked if joining Norwich could be a "benefit" to help him play regularly, Wright told BBC Radio Norfolk's The Scrimmage: "That's kind of the reason behind the move in the first place.
"It's just the fact that I felt I was ready to play first team football and I wanted to come and test myself in the Championship.
"It's a great league, a very tough league and I just want to be playing at the end of the day, so... hopefully I'll be here."
Wright said he was "happy" about Thorup's comments around his potential transfer and would "100%" want to be involved in a push for promotion.
"Obviously I don't know the club's scenario, what the club are thinking but from my point of view, I'm happy that they want to continue this journey," he added.
"I think the goal even before I came here was we want to get Norwich back to the Premier League where they should be and hopefully I can play a part in that."
