Norwich City: Alan Irvine disappointed by Ricky Martin departure

Norwich caretaker boss Alan Irvine said he was "really disappointed" to see technical director Ricky Martin leave.

Martin has left in a shake-up that has also seen head of football recruitment Tony Spearing and head of scouting Lee Darnbrough also depart Carrow Road.

The changes come a week after Stuart Webber was named sporting director.
