Darren Huckerby demands whoever picks up previous Coventry City guard Sam McCallum this summer will be getting a ‘real bargain’ taking after the player’s discharge by Norwich.
The 23-year-old full-back was sold to the Canaries within the January exchange window of 2020 for a bargain that may reach £3.5million based on the player’s victory and quickly lent back for he leftover portion of the season. McCallum, whom City had culled from non-league lack of definition, at that point returned for a season-long credit for the term of 2020/21, making 41 Championship appearances and scoring one objective.
On his return to Carrow Street he was once more cultivated out as portion of his advancement, and went through a season at QPR, yet his advance set back by a hamstring tear, for which he required surgery that kept him out for a few months, restricting his appearances to fair 19 recreations.

He at that point made 25 showings for Norwich in 2022/23 and 34 final term, counting substitute appearances within the play-off semi-finals against Leeds Joined together as he went through most of final season as moment choice to Dimitris Giannoulis.
Previous Sky Blues favourite Huckerby may be a customary at Carrow Street where he finished his English playing career. Inquired around McCallum’s advance and why he considers the player has been let go by Norwich – who missed out on advancement this season after being thumped out by Leeds within the play-off semi-finals – the 48-year-old told CoventryLive:
“I thought he did beautiful well towards the conclusion of his time at Norwich. When he to begin with arrived he was just a youthful fellow and after that he was in and out when they were within the Head Alliance. And after that he had Giannoulis ahead of him, but I thought that when he played he held his possess, and his discharge is likely more almost him playing normal to begin with group football than not being needed as such.”
He included:
“The chief (David Wagner) has gone and I think Sam was on half conventional compensation so they may be cutting down a small bit. He is clearly a great player and towards the conclusion of his spell I truly thought he was appearing what he might do. It’s one of those where he fair ought to be playing first team football week in and week out.
“He played as a full-back for Norwich but possibly he’s way better suited to being a wing-back since he’s so great going forward. I am beyond any doubt there will be plenty of other clubs seeking out for a genuine deal on a free transfer.”

Asked in the event that he sees McCallum at another beat conclusion Championship club, he said:
“I think so, he’s clearly been at one in Norwich so whoever gets him will do OK. He’s at the age now, 23, where he needs customary football and go and set up himself some place since that’s something he hasn’t overseen to do at Norwich.
“He clearly did well at Coventry when he was there but they have moved on since at that point as well, so it will be interesting to see what happens and where he goes.”
As for whether he feels it’s ever great thought for player to go back to a club, he included:
“It depends what they have done some time recently, to be fair. Norwich bought him when he was youthful so it’s not like he’s done ten a long time and going back. To be genuine he’s still a youthful chap with a parcel to demonstrate. He went for a lot of cash but wasn’t able to play week in and week out, so it’s no good looking back on your career and considering you simply played 200 games.”
