Drury was part of Norwich's Premier League side in 2004/05

Norwich City may have signed seven players this summer, but Adam Drury insists the good-time feeling has carried over into the new season.

The left-back, 31, featured 36 times in City's League One winning campaign.

He told BBC Radio Norfolk: "Players have come in and seen how excited everyone is about the new season. It's something to look forward to.

"When the season starts and it's a full house every week I think they'll enjoy it even more."

He added: "It's important they know how to play and how the gaffer wants them to play.

"So far you can see it's working and the idea is to get it right for the first game of the season."

Championship football will return to Carrow Road on Friday after a 12-month absence, with Watford the visitors.

Memories of bouncing back at the first time of asking could be a source of inspiration for Drury and his team-mates.

"If you can get off to a good start, which everyone's aiming to do, then you get yourselves up there and get momentum," he said.

"Hopefully our momentum from last year can carry over to this season."
