Fourteen year old Nick Davey from Walpole St Andrew started playing for Walpole Youth Football Club at the age of seven, regularly being top goal scorer each season. Nick was selected to represent West Norfolk about 18 months ago under the guidance of community coach Paul Hunt. Nick also performed well at school level football, where his Physical Education teacher, at Marshland High School, decided to contact Norwich City Academy asking if they would have a look at Nick in October 2004. Nick was straight away asked to take part in a friendly match at Colney training ground against a Dutch team. During this match, Nick scored a hat-trick for Norwich. He was then invited to train with the Norwich Academy U14 squad until Christmas, then was put on a six week trial after. Nick has now been successful at his trial and in March 2005 was signed on until the end of the season, looking to sign for a further two years after.

Nick scored the winner for Norwich City's Under-16 squad as they defeated Hungarian side Ferencevaros 1-0 to win the University of Ulster Under-16 Umbro Foyle Cup at the end of July 2006. The young Canaries had also played South East Soccer Academy from Carlow, Glentoran, NECSL and Dundalk Schools

In February 2006, he was offered a scholarship with the Canaries to commence in August 2007.
