"I'm really happy, obviously," Sinclair-Brown stated regarding his new contract. "It's a proud moment for me and my family, and something I've been working towards for a long time. Just really happy to achieve this and just want to keep going now."
Recognised for his tenacity and skill in midfield, Sinclair-Brown describes his playing style as both combative and creative. "I'm a defensive midfielder, so I like to win the ball in midfield, win battles and like being on the ball. I just try to create things going forward," he elaborated. "It took me a while to understand the position, but I think I really developed myself, especially this season. I've seen real progress and I just want to continue working there."
The young midfielder has already begun to make waves in senior football, recalling his debut in front of the Norwich supporters. "I think the first game was a good experience playing in the stadium for the first time," he remembered. "I came off the bench and then just tried to make an impact. The second time I started, so it was a really good moment for me."
Playing in front of fans was particularly memorable for him, despite the team not securing a victory. "I was really excited to play in front of some fans as well. Unfortunately, we didn't get the result we wanted, but it was just a really good moment for me. And to see my family there as well, just watching me play in the stadium was a good moment for me."
Sinclair-Brown also shared his thoughts on the unique atmosphere of playing under the stadium lights. "It's obviously a bit different and feels a bit bigger when you're in the stadium, but it's good, especially under the lights as well. It's really different, a different environment, but I really enjoyed it."
Looking ahead, Sinclair-Brown is keen to continue his progress. "For the rest of the season, I want to keep progressing and hopefully just get some more wins towards the end of the season. I think we've developed well as a team and started to get some good results, but I just want to keep that going and then just keep getting better for next season as well."
With ambitions to advance, Sinclair-Brown has his sights set on joining the Under-21s next season. "Next season, hopefully I could play in the Under-21s, try to get myself an opportunity there and keep being consistent in my performances, and hopefully get to that level and see what happens."
Norwich City supporters will undoubtedly be excited to follow Sinclair-Brown's journey as he embarks on this promising new chapter in his career.
