All my hard work has paid off to this moment, so I&#8217;m very happy,&#8221; the striker told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canaries.co.uk\/content\/jones-extends-norwich-city-contract?ref=ed_direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">official club channels<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;I always give 100% out on the pitch. I think I&#8217;m a team player as well. I always do the most I can do for my teammates and obviously, I like scoring goals.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;Tranmere was a great experience. I loved every minute of it and obviously gutted it was cut short, but it is what it is.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <img   width=\"100%\"\/>Dylan Jones has made three appearances in a matchday squad for City&#8217;s senior squad.

Obviously, the first couple of weeks I was a little bit down, I just learned to get on with things. A few weeks away now, so I&#8217;m just working as hard as I can to get back on the pitch.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;Next season, I just work as hard as I can, and wherever it takes me, it takes me. I don&#8217;t really set too many, specific goals. If I just work hard day in, day out, whatever happens, what happens.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  It is the second new contract for an academy player announced in 24 hours, after Jeremiah Sinclair-Brown was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinkun.com\/sport\/norwich-city\/25971051.norwich-youngster-sinclair-brown-signs-professional-contract\/?ref=ed_direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">awarded<\/a> his first professional contract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 21-year-old, who joined from non-league Plymouth Parkway after a successful trial last season, had been entering the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":500263,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-500262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500262"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500262\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/500263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=500262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=500262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
