The Frenchman signed a two-year deal with the Canaries in the summer to boost manager Peter Grant's midfield options. Brellier likes to sit just in front of a back four in the "Makelele" role. The 25-year-old used to be at Italian giants Inter Milan although it was at Hearts that he really made his name. Something of an unknown quantity: came to Carrow Road this summer after declining the offer of a new contract at Hearts and has featured in only one pre-season game – a 45-minute run-out at King’s Lynn – because of a thigh injury. Plays in the midfield role just in front of the back four, helping clear up loose ends. Nicknamed The Judge in Scotland.
