Michael McGovern Fulfills Dream at Norwich City

 

Norwich City backup goalkeeper Michael McGovern has no regrets about playing behind Tim Krul. McGovern fulfilled a dream with his Premier League debut against Aston Villa.

McGovern, a Northern Irish international had made just two appearances over the past two seasons under head coach Daniel Farke before most football leagues worldwide were suspended because of COVID-19.

Farke is known as a model professional and he was able to experience the team’s Championship title run and their promotion to the Premier League.

“The last few seasons I haven’t played as much as I would like,” he said. “But to be a part of the team, especially last season when the squad won the Championship, and this season in the Premier League has been amazing, to see how the game works at the top level.

Winning the Championship was a great achievement from everybody.

I didn’t play much really, but I think I played my part around the team and I was involved in every squad that season, so it was good to be a part of it.

It was something special, we caught some momentum and just kept it going. It was so interesting to see how each game started developing as we got closer and closer to the end of the season.

Making my Premier League debut this year was a massive honor for me, I’ve played a couple of games now, and it’s something I’ve always wanted to do.”

McGovern was signed by Norwich City after having an eye-catching performance at Euro 2016 for his country. This was a big career highlight for him after his time with Ross County, Falkirk and Hamilton in Northern Ireland.

He recently did an interview that appeared on Falkirk’s official site and he praised his teammate Tim Krul, who also played with him at Falkirk.
