22 year old Danish striker Ulrik Drost came on as substitute for Paul Dalglish in the 49th minute of Norwich's clash with Swedish side Nordost on July 24 1999. Ulrik was available on a free transfer but formerly played for Boldclub Herfolge (1994-99). Previously he was with Greve (1993-94). Ulrik was interested in signing for the Canaries but Bruce Rioch decided not to pursue this signing. Ulrik has also had a trial with Nottingham Forest.

The following information was posted by Dag T Hoelseth on the Unofficial Norwich City Message Board in November 1999. "After returning from his trial periods in Nottingham Forest and Norwich City, he was in August transferred from Herfolge, the current Danish Premier League leaders, to the 1st Division side B93 København. He is currently joint top scorer with 9 goals in 15 league matches, but he has also wasted a lot of chances and when he becomes more efficient, the goals will really flow in for the team, whose chances of getting promotion are great. He is said to be a great addition to the team."
