Danny Kelly has agreed to sign his first professional contract with Norwich.
The 18-year-old, who can operate as either a centre-half or a striker, will finalise a one-year deal with the option of a further year on July 1.
The Republic of Ireland under-19 captain joined the club after impressing in a trial for Histon and Canaries boss Bryan Gunn has compared him to former Carrow Road favourite Chris Sutton.
"He does liken to a young Chris Sutton with the versatility he's got," Gunn told his club's official website. "We hope that he'll push on in the reserves next year and content to be a member of the first team squad as well."

Hopefully Cody McDonald and this Kelly kid can produce a bit of youthful excitement up front with either of them pairing with Cureton. How do you lot think Gunny will play them?
have City got enough players for a reserve side ??? they never seemed to have enough for the 1st team last season
WELCOME TO THE YELLOW ARMY KELLY!
only hope he is that good gunny , this is the only way to go now we're in league 1, bring in decent young lads and the better reserves you already have who want to play for the good of norwich city, not over priced has beens and never will be's(croft)or cra**y loaners who cant get a game at the clubs who own them who only want a pay day....
