Dereham striker Nathan Howard had a trial with Norwich in October 2011. They have allowed the 17-year-old striker to join up with Paul Lambert's side with a view to a permanent switch.

Dereham boss Rob Parke said on 21st October 2011:: "Our main talisman Nathan Howard is currently on trial at Norwich City. He hasn't been there for very long. He's just been training regularly with the past few weeks so they haven't done anything about them yet. From what I'm hearing a lot of teams are interested in him. I can't put a finger on it because no-one has contacted me directly but from what I'm hearing there has been a lot of interest."

Nathan made 2 appearances for Dereham's first team as they won the Thurlow Nunn Eastern Counties Leauge title in 2012/13, winning a place in the Ryman League for 2013/14.

He moved to Norwich United for the 2013/14 season
