Croft admits Clark will be missed

Clark joined the Canaries from Newcastle United

Norwich City midfielder Lee Croft says former assistant manager Lee Clark will be sorely missed at Carrow Road.

Clark has left the Championship club after just over a year at Carrow Road to take the vacant manager's job at Huddersfield Town.

Croft told BBC Radio Norfolk: "He's a great coach and a really nice man, he'll be greatly missed.

"Our loss is Huddersfield's gain, he's been there and done it and played the game at the highest level."

Croft added: "He's a really good man-manager, a very good coach on the training ground and he's good with the lads as well."

The Canaries have confirmed that former Newcastle reserve-team manager Adam Sadler has been added to Glenn Roeder's staff as senior coach.

The 29-year-old was involved in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat at Watford and Croft said he seems like a good replacement for Clark.

"The gaffer's brought Adam Sadler in and he was really good around the changing room so maybe it's an opportunity for him," said Croft.
