FONCY would like to congratulate Academy Scholar Rossi Jarvis on signing a professional contract with Norwich City. Rossi of course joins his brother Ryan in the professional ranks and signed on for two and a half years in the presence of his father Neil and club secretary Kevan Platt. The Fakenham youngster missed the whole of his last schoolboy season in the Academy set-up after suffering a cruciate ligament injury but returned as an Academy Scholar at the beginning of the 2004/05 season in a match against Huddersfield Town and hasn't looked back since. Rossi joined the first team on pre-season tour in Holland this season and played against Inter Milan before adding four first team appearances to his name.
