Norwich youngsters Dario Dumic, Sam Habergham and David Stephens have all been awarded two-year professional contracts.

The three 17-year-olds were part of the Canaries Under-18 side that reached the FA Youth Cup quarter-finals last season and finished second in their section of the FA Premier Academy League.

Manager Bryan Gunn told the Norwich Evening News: "It's part of an ongoing process and recognises the success of the youth team.

"These three have certainly earned their opportunity, as has Declan Rudd, who signed a new three-year contract last week.

"It proves that there is a way forward into the first team for our young players and it gives a message to all the young players coming into the club this week."
