Nottingham Forest loanee Hwang Ui-Jo provided a brilliant assist just two minutes after coming onto the pitch for Norwich City.

The 31-year-old forward played a delightful backheel into the path of youngster Jonathan Rowe who finished to secure a 2-0 win for David Wagner’s side.

Ui-Jo hasn’t hit the ground running so far at Carrow Road, with Canaries boss Wagner admitting that the South Korean needed time to settle into life at the club.

Although he’s only started one game for the club, he’s starting to show glimpses of the quality he can add to the Norwich side.

The Canaries will hope to challenge for the play-offs this season, with Hwang receiving more opportunities from Wagner, who is pleased to have signed him.

Wagner is a manager that boasts impressive man-management skills. He gives his players the freedom to go out and express themselves, which seems to be suiting Hwang.

His assist today was more evidence of the qualities Hwang possesses, with the forward thriving with a coach who is willing to put his trust in him.

Although he’s yet to feature as regularly as he would like, today could be the springboard for his Norwich career with the Korean potentially being a key component in the Canaries’ push for a return to the Premier League.
