Midfielder Alan Domeracki and attacker Brandon Forbes arrived previously from Dundee United.
The former Tangerines duo were both involved in Olly Lee's squad that reached the development league play-off final last week, before losing to Huddersfield's Under-21s at Carrow Road.
Forbes scored against the Terriers and sealed the semi-final win against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, but will leave Carrow Road in the summer when his contract expires.
Bryson's Vision for Future Talent
Bryson, speaking to the Daily Record, believes he can help find future stars for the Canaries and will lean into the reputation of head coach Philippe Clement to give young players opportunities.
"I'm delighted to take on the job - it's a brilliant opportunity," he said. "Norwich are looking for someone to identify players at the 15s through to 19s age group in Scotland and it's an area I already know well." Read more about Norwich Target Abdelkarim as Barcelona Weigh Options.
"Norwich have a great setup - they've got a Category One academy and a right good pathway to the first team. So it's an attractive option for boys up in this part of the world."
Errol Mundle-Smith made 12 senior appearances for the Canaries last season under the former Rangers boss, who has tasked first team coach Ryan Garry to establish a strong link between the academy and City's first-team setup.
The Canaries recently confirmed Scott Smith will step up as the new academy manager, while the search continues to find a replacement for Dean Rastrick for the role of football development director. Rastrick is set to join Everton this summer.
