Angus Gunn has voiced his dissatisfaction with the Norwich City hierarchy regarding the management of his contract situation, following the announcement that he would be departing the club upon the expiry of his deal this summer. The academy graduate’s third spell at Carrow Road is set to conclude officially on June 30.
Norwich City, under new head coach Liam Manning, is reportedly seeking a different direction for its goalkeeping department. Plymouth Argyle’s Daniel Grimshaw is expected to arrive in a £600,000 deal, among other anticipated signings. While Gunn acknowledges that his time at the club was likely nearing its end, he reportedly disapproves of the club’s approach to his departure.
Gunn, an experienced Championship-level goalkeeper, has made 172 appearances for Norwich across his two professional stints, in addition to his time in their academy. He served as the first-choice goalkeeper under Johannes Hoff Thorup last season, featuring in 35 Championship matches. However, his performance was deemed “below-par,” as he ranked second-lowest in the division for goals prevented, with only Luton Town’s Thomas Kaminski registering a worse record.
The table of “5 Worst Championship Goalkeepers For Goals Prevented – 2024-25 Season” from Fotmob shows:
| Player | Team | Goals Prevented |
| 1. Thomas Kaminski | Luton Town | -6.0 |
| 2. ANGUS GUNN | NORWICH CITY | -5.5 |
| 3. James Beadle | Sheffield Wednesday | -3.9 |
| 4. Paul Nardi | QPR | -3.7 |
| 5. Freddie Woodman | Preston North End | -3.5 |
It had been previously confirmed that Gunn would be leaving Norwich after a four-year period, prior to the official announcement of the club’s retained list. Gunn subsequently disclosed that he had not been given a clear reason for his release during what he described as a “two-minute conversation” with Sporting Director Ben Knapper.
Gunn has now issued further comments regarding the club’s handling of the situation. “Yes, I’m over it,” Gunn told STV when asked about processing his Carrow Road exit. He continued, “It was something that I felt personally they could have handled better. But ultimately, I think the decision was probably the right one from both sides for me to move on and go somewhere else in my career. I’m really excited for it.”
While Gunn may acknowledge that his 2024-25 season did not meet his expectations, and that his departure was ultimately beneficial for all parties, he maintains that the manner of his release was unsatisfactory. With his experience and at 29 years old, Gunn is expected to seek a move to another Championship club, where he will aim to demonstrate his abilities in the upcoming 2025-26 season.
