lake district canary 4,589 Posted March 31, 2022 That is a real shame. Good luck to him for the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,550 Posted March 31, 2022 Shame for him. I hadn't realised the situation was that bad. Any bets on how long it will be before he turns up at Colney? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cornish sam 969 Posted March 31, 2022 My initial thought was that he's retired very young, but seeing he's 31 has just made me feel very old instead... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,212 Posted March 31, 2022 He's already got an alternative business interest that will keep him busy. I believe he's the co-founder of Future Football Elite, a youth football coaching organisation, based in Norwich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirsty Lizard 3,187 Posted March 31, 2022 Shame that he's had to retire so relatively young, but he's done some pretty good things in his career. Never did become the next David de Gea though................................................ 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulfotto 678 Posted March 31, 2022 It’s a shame some classic muddled thinking by Alex Neil. He should have backed Rudd over Ruddy when we returned to the championship instead of signing McGovern as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 676 Posted March 31, 2022 Loads of people on Twitter saying we should make a role for him here at Norwich. Well of course, why wouldn't there be people saying that? 🙄 Make a handful of appearances at Norwich and you're a club legend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deptford Yellow 269 Posted April 1, 2022 Him and Jed Steer were two very promising young goalies - I remember even Harry Redknapp bigging them up …. Declan had himself a career of sorts - it went very quiet on the Jed Steer front though … Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,328 Posted April 1, 2022 Sad news but Declan's young enough to pursue a different career path....that's if he isn't already?.....Good luck to him..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
