Tim Krul ‘Proud’ To Extend Stay At Norwich
Speaking to the club website about his new contract, Tim Krul said “Proud is the big word. I’m excited to commit my future to Norwich and have had an amazing two and a half years already at this club, so I’m excited to add another three and a half years to that.
“The plan the club has got for the next few years is exciting and there’s some young, exciting talent coming through the ranks as well.
“From top to bottom it’s a club I want to be at; one that’s run really well from Michael and Delia to the kitman. It’s an exciting time to for the club, for sure.
“As a player, you want to be loved and I’ve got a great relationship with the fans. The club giving me this three-and-a-half-year contract shows me the belief they’ve still got in me.”
Meanwhile, manager Daniel Farke added: “It’s fantastic news for us to have a player of Tim’s quality and personality. He’s by far the best goalkeeper in this league and was impressive in the Premier League.
“To have a player of his experience and quality is fantastic, because if you want to be a successful club, whatever league you play in, you always need a top-class goalkeeper.
“It’s good news he was willing to sign a long-term contract because there is lots of interest in a player of his quality and experience. He’s a great ambassador for us and it’s a good decision for the future.”
Tim Krul: Flying High with the Canaries
Having previously spent seven seasons with Newcastle United earlier in his career, Krul arrived at Norwich in 2018 off the back of a mixed spell in the Eredivisie.
The Dutchman was ever-present as Norwich topped the Championship in his first season at Carrow Road, and continued to impress during the club’s short-lived stint in the Premier League.
Back in the Championship this season, the 32-year old has conceded just eight goals in 13 matches as Norwich sit five points clear at the top of the table.
