Norwich have begun the search for a new shirt sponsor after Flybe confirmed they are stepping down at the end of the season.Andrew Cullen, Norwich director of sales and marketing, said: "We are grateful for Flybe's commitment and encouragement over the entire term of the sponsorship and more recently for their assistance in promoting the club to prospective new shirt sponsors.

"The search for a new shirt sponsor is well under way. We wish Flybe and all their staff every success for the future."

Flybe's director of marketing, Simon Lilley, said: "The sponsorship deal between Flybe and Norwich City has proved a beneficial partnership.

"However, we have had to take the difficult decision to step down as the main club sponsor so our other club sponsorships across the UK are given the opportunity to take over the mantle."
