“As soon as I first heard about it, I’ve been excited,” said Duffy after signing for Norwich, who finished 13th in the recently-concluded Championship season.
“I spoke with the head coach, and some people at the club, and they’ve really made me excited about this opportunity.
“I know it’s a great club, a lot of Irish connection as well with a few players here and they speak very highly about the club.
“I’m ready for a new chapter in my career. And I’m excited to help the team get back to the Premier League.”
