The Canaries were about to begin their third straight season playing in the Premier League, after 12th and 11th place finishes in the previous two campaign.
That would open the door for an interesting period in that particular transfer window at Carrow Road, with eight new players brought into the squad in the summer market, as they looked to push on in the following campaign.
Among those individuals to be added to the squad available to the then Norwich City manager, Chris Hughton, was Nathan Redmond.
Carrow Road move secured a reunion for Nathan Redmond
It was reported in July 2013 that the Canaries paid an initial £2million to sign Redmond from Birmingham City, with a potential for that price to rise to £3.2million
Prior to the switch to Norwich, the winger had spent his entire senior career with the Blues, having come through their youth system.
In total, the then 19-year-old had made 80 appearances in all competitions for the Midlands club, scoring eight goals and providing 11 assists in that time.
Redmond had also played under Hughton in that period at St Andrew’s, meaning the move to Norwich allowed him to link up with one of his former managers once again.
Nathan Redmond provided some big contributions for Norwich City
Ultimately, Redmond’s debut campaign at Carrow Road would prove to be a disappointing one for all connected with the club.
Hughton was sacked as Norwich before the end of the season, which would end with the club being relegated from the Premier League back to the Championship, with just eight league wins.
Indeed, Redmond himself would find the net just once during his debut campaign with the Canaries.
Things though, would be rather different in the Championship the following campaign, for both Redmond and Norwich as a whole.
In that 2014/15 campaign, the winger became a key player for the Canaries, with a handful of goals and major flurry of assists helping his side to a third place finish in the final regular season table.
