Norwich City captain Kenny McLean has signed a new two-year contract extension with the Championship club, securing his future ahead of this summer's World Cup. The Scotland midfielder revealed the club had already activated a one-year option on his previous deal, which was set to expire this summer, but chose to offer fresh terms reflecting their faith in the 34-year-old.

McLean's decision demonstrates his commitment to the Canaries despite being in the latter stages of his career. His comments about repaying manager David Wagner's trust through performances show genuine investment in the club's direction. The midfielder featured prominently throughout the campaign, making 45 appearances and scoring three goals as Norwich secured a mid-table finish.

The ninth-placed finish following the final day draw with Swansea City capped a transitional season for Norwich, who will now build around their experienced captain. McLean's leadership and consistency in midfield proved vital during the campaign, with his goal against Swansea marking a fitting end to his season.

This extension provides stability in Norwich's engine room as they prepare for another Championship push next season, with McLean's experience and work ethic serving as a foundation for younger players in the squad.
