Jordan Hugill speaks out on his future at Cardiff City and Norwich City

Jordan Hugill has had a very up and down season since winning promotion to the Premier League with Norwich City in 2020/21.

The 29-year-old initially struggled at West Bromwich Albion in the first half of the season before showing his true ability at Cardiff City in the last few months.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, it’s one of those things where as far as I know at the moment, I’m going back to Norwich in the summer to get ready for pre-season.

“We go from there, I’ve got a year left on my contract there still, ideally I’d like to prove myself in the Premier League if they stay up.

“That’s my aim, I want to do well and play in the Premier League again.”

The Canaries have their work cut out, eight points from safety with nine games remaining, having played two games more than Everton in 17th while picking up just 17 points in 29 league outings this term.

Emiliano Buendia has been a key part of both of the club’s recent promotions from the second tier and his absence may make their task more difficult heading into 2022/23.
