Norwich City have announced on their official website that young winger Josh Coley has joined Scottish Championship side Dunfermline Athletic on loan for the 2019-20 season.

Coley, who can play on either flank, has moved to the East End Park side – who finished seventh in the Scottish second tier last term – on a season-long stint, effective from 1 July.

The player took to Twitter to express his delight at having linked up with Dunfermline and looked ahead to the upcoming season:

As reported by the Norwich Evening News, Coley is the third member of the Canaries development squad to secure a loan move for the 2019-20 season after Ciaren Jones, who has linked up with Eastbourne Borough, and Mason Bloomfield, who will be with Crawley Town.
