The left-footed centre back is fast establishing himself as a first choice and key member of Peter Grant's first team. Strong and quick, Shackell made his debut against Derby and since then, has rarely put a foot wrong in the heart of the Canaries back four. Last season, he even added a goalscoring touch in the last campaign with goals against Luton Town and Preston North End. New skipper. Big, strong and imposing. Clearly learned a few tricks from Dion Dublin last season and his organisational skills have alerted Grant to his potential as a future skipper. Credited with three goals last season – but it should be a lot more.
