Norwich City defender Max Aarons says he 'will never ever forget' his time at the club after it was confirmed he's making the move to Bournemouth.

The right back, who started at the Canaries academy in 2016, is heading to Dorset for an undisclosed fee.

He has amassed over 200 appearances for Norwich since his first team debut in 2018, winning two titles with the squad.

23 year old Aarons has also made 27 appearances for England's under-21s.

In a statement to fans on social media, Aarons wrote: "From minute one, right until the end, you have shown nothing but love and support for me and my family."

"The memories we have created as a team, fans, staff, everyone together I will never ever forget."

Stuart Webber, Canaries sporting director, said: “We’re of course disappointed to lose Max, but once a Premier League club matched our valuation we couldn’t stand in his way.

“Max, since the moment he made his debut against Stevenage in 2018, has been top class, both as a player and a person. He’s our current highest appearance holder, has won two titles and, most recently, a major tournament for his country.

“It hasn’t always been easy for Max with constant speculation that has surrounded his future, but it speaks volumes for him, that he’s always got on with the job of representing Norwich City to the best of his ability.

“We all wish Max and his family well and look forward to welcoming him back in the future.”
