Omobamidele proud of Norwich debut 

Norwich City defender, Andrew Omobamidele was proud of his Premier League debut in defeat at Arsenal.

The 19-year-old has had a rapid rise through the ranks at City and was thrust into the heat of battle at the Emirates after impressing on the international scene for the Republic of Ireland.

He said, “It was amazing when I found out that I was starting. I knew the job at hand and I’m happy that I put in a good performance.

“I was only told I was starting today in the team meeting and it was a mixed bag of emotions but I was excited. It’s better that you find out on the day because I’m not sure I would get enough sleep the night before.

“This is the level that I have always dreamt of playing at and these are the levels of players that I want to be playing against.

“It’s always been my dream to play in the Premier League. It’s the biggest league in the world.”
