On 11th December 2003, it was announced that Ipswich midfielder Matt Bloomfield would join Norwich on trial the following week. The former England Under-19 midfielder was no longer required by Ipswich and Joe Royle had announced he was available on a free transfer. He looked likely to join Boston until Norwich showed their interest. This is a far cry from earlier in the year when Newcastle were rumoured to be keen on adding him to the rank of ex-Ipswich players at St James Park eg Dyer, Bramble, Ambrose.

Matt joined Wycombe in December 2003 but he was unable to prevent Tony Adams' side from relegation into Division Three

Matt is the brother of former Norwich squad member Danny Bloomfield
