The former Manchester City winger had a promising debut season with the Canaries and has made the right midfield slot his own. Croft will benefit from having a regular right back behind him in the form of Jon Otsemobor and Grant will be hoping the pair can form a decent understanding down the right flank. The 22-year-old Croft caught the eye last season with his ability to beat his man and put in crosses. Willing worker who levelled out after some terrific early performances at the beginning of last season. Always available to take the ball, but will be concerned that he managed just three league goals last season. Glaring misses are beginning to plague him, but he should benefit from the added competition down the right flank.
