Jacob Sorensen signs new Norwich deal as Ben Gibson and Dimitris Giannoulis leave

The Dutchman, son of former Celtic and Nottingham Forest forward Pierre van Hooijdonk, played 12 games for the Canaries without scoring, all of them from the bench.

Defenders Sam McCallum and Danny Batth and goalkeeper Jon McCracken have also been released by the club.

Keeper Archie Mair has agreed a new deal, similar to that of Sorensen, after spending the second half of the season on loan at Morecambe, and 19-year-old forward Ken Aboh has been offered a new contract, having made his debut in a 5-0 win over Rotherham United in March.

Winger Christos Tzolis, meanwhile, remains on loan at Fortuna Dusseldorf, who have the option to sign him on a permanent basis.

Norwich are looking for a new head coach after David Wagner was sacked in the wake of their 4-0 aggregate defeat by Leeds United in the Championship play-offs.
