Danish youngster Asmat El Ouargui joined Norwich on trial in July 2004 and played for City's Under-19s in the 4-0 defeat of Northampton during that period. Asmat scored one of City's goals suggesting that former Norwich defender Steen Nedergaard did well to suggest them for a trial at Carrow Road. He also played in the friendly against Rushden & Diamonds. Per was then with Danish side Hvidovre.

Norwich Academy Director Ricky Martin announced on 4th December that he had completed the signing of Asmat. After some weeks of discussions with the player and his club, Hvidovre, Asmat has put pen to paper on an 18-month scholarship. "It has taken some while to get Asmat here and we had hoped that we could also sign fellow Dane Per Weihrauch at the same time. We came mighty close to completing the double, but in the end with Per we had to give second best to Dutch giants Ajax. Asmat did well when he was here in pre-season, he has great pace, and his athletic build should see him adapt to the English game without too many problems", said Ricky

Norwich announced on 24th November 2006 that they would not be offering Asmat a professional contract when his scholarship expires at the end of the month.
