The midfielder's relationship with Norwich soured near the end of his time at the club.
The Englishman came through the academy at Norwich City and played a crucial role in the club twice winning promotion to the Premier League.
But personal issues, along with a breakdown in communication behind the scenes, led to him training with the club's U23 side and the 25-year-old has opened up on how his relationship with the team broke down."Losing a family member was immensely difficult, as everyone knows. There were other issues going on at this time and when you open up and tell people you not usually tell, AKA the football club and the people in charge, then you are instantly vulnerable.
"I was told to go to the U23s because I was not mentally there. I will be honest when I was in the U23s set-up, something I had done when I was 16, and to be back there aged 23 or 24, there were times I said to myself, 'I am going to quit'. "Quit football completely. I have enough money and this is draining me. I had to be there for my family and they did not need to be worrying about me.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
