Luke Chadwick joined Norwich on loan on November 15th 2006, partially as a replacement for the injured Lee Croft and partly because he had worked with Peter Grant before.

The Cambridge born winger came through the youth ranks at Manchester United and had loan spells at Royal Antwerp, Reading and Burnley during his Old Trafford days. He moved to West Ham United on a free transfer in August 2004. After making 36 senior appearances in 17 months at Upton Park, he moved to Stoke City where he made 50 Championship appearances - one of the last being the home clash with Norwich City on 28th October which saw Chadwick score during Stoke's 5-0 victory.

Chadwick was linked with a move to Norwich during the summer of 2006 but the move was not completed. He had been willing to move as his family were in Cambridgeshire and he found the commute to the Potteries too long. “I'm thrilled to be coming to Norwich,” he said. “I know Peter Grant from our time at West Ham and Norwich is a tremendous club. I was devastated when the move fell through in the close season and I'm delighted to be joining now. The Norwich thing happened at the start of the season when they showed an interest, but the gaffer at the time said no. I was happy to come back to do my best and felt I'd done that.” Chadwick cited family reasons behind a Britannia exit with the blond wideman making a daily commute from his Cambridge base. “I have to put my family first,” he said. “My wife and children moved back at the end of last season and I've got to say it's been a struggle for me doing all the travelling.

Although scheduled to return to Stoke on January 3rd 2007, sources in the Potteries suggest Norwich have agreed a permanent £220,000 switch for the Cambridge-born flyer in the January transfer window, rising by a further £100,000 depending on promotion.

Luke made his City debut in the televised clash at Portman Road on 19th November 2006. He scored Norwich's goal but was later injured as Ipswich won 3-1

Luke completed his £200,00 transfer to Carrow Road on 3rd January 2007 but injuries limited him to just four appearances.
