7 1/1 Liam Manning has already made history – as the first Norwich-born man to be put in charge of the Canaries.

Left-back Bailey Clements follows Reece Hall-Johnson into the club as Rowe builds a new squad for the 2025-26 National League North campaign. The 24-year-old Clements came through the system at hometown club Ipswich, but joined Chesterfield in 2020, moving to National League South Hornchurch last summer. Dylan Crowe and Greg Taylor – who were both capable of playing left back – left Lynn soon after Rowe’s predecessor Adam Lakeland was sacked. “It (the move) was fairly quickly,” said Clements.
