Even though Paul Lambert, who collaborated with Snodgrass at Livingston before moving on to Aston Villa, had begun talks with the winger, Chris Hughton carried out the transfer.

During his rookie campaign with the team, Snodgrass was crucial in keeping Norwich in the Premier League.

Between 2012 and 2014, he played for Carrow Road for two seasons, making 74 appearances and scored 14 goals. Prior to completing a £6 million move to Hull following City’s relegation from the top division, Snodgrass won the Player of the Season title in his final season in Norfolk.

After leaving to play for Aston Villa, West Ham, West Brom and Luton, Snodgrass returned to Scotland to play for Hearts in the previous campaign.

Snodgrass concluded his international career with seven goals from 28 appearances throughout his time for Scotland.

After leaving Tynecastle nine months ago, Snodgrass has already received offers to move into coaching, so he will continue to consider his choices.

Through his social media accounts, Snodgrass formally announced his retirement and proudly looked back on his 20-year career.

On X, the platform that was once known as Twitter, Snodgrass said, “A little lad from the east end of Glasgow got to live his childhood dream for 20 years.”

Over his two-year stay in Norfolk, Robert Snodgrass played in 76 games for Norwich City.

“I never would have envisioned being able to play for ten elite clubs, represent my nation, participate in over 600 games, score over 100 goals, and [get] over 100 assists.

“To my coaches and teammates, I’m grateful. Last but not least, a sincere thank you to all of my fans who helped me succeed and stood by me in both good and terrible times.

“After the past six months, it’s time to pass on my knowledge and assistance to the next generation, but I will miss this beautiful game.”
