After playing in a couple of trial games for the Canaries during the beginning of 2005, former West Ham schoolboy Alvin Quaye was offered a scholarship with the Canaries in March 2005. He had not been offered a scholarship by The Hammers. He however done enough to impress the coaching staff at Colney and joined Norwich's Academy on a full time basis at the start of the 2005/6 season. Alvin will now join Bally Smart, Patrick Bexfield, Seb Muddel, Chris Martin and Michael Spillane as first year scholars.

His first season at Carrow Road started well but he suffered a double break to his left leg in the autumn of 2005 when playing against West Ham's Under-18s.

Alvin had a trial with Leyton Orient in May 2007, playing in a friendly against a Sierre Leone XI, as he had not been awarded a professional contract with the Canaries at the end of his scholarship.

He moved to the USA, taking up a soccer sholarship with Nova Southeastern University for whom Matthew Parry coaches.
