Andrew Omobamidele has expressed his shock at the sacking of Daniel Farke as Norwich City manager and thanked the German for giving him the opportunity to play for the Canaries and, because of that, the Republic of Ireland.

“Definitely,” said the Leixlip man who confirmed that the players had spoken to Farke after the news broke. “We had a lot of faith in him, we've all been working with him for a while and we're all very close to him but that's the nature of the game.”
