The 37-year-old is also continuing his role as a commercial ambassador for the Sky Bet Championship side, a role he held last year.

Holt spent part of last season in the National League with Barrow, where he also worked as a player-coach.

Norwich sporting director Stuart Webber said: "We're pleased to have agreed a part-time role for Grant to come back and continue his coaching development with us and bring the benefit of his experience of scoring goals at every level of English football into the mix at Colney.

"His achievements for this club speak for themselves and he's played - and scored - against some of the best defenders in the country. It will be good to have him back helping Norwich City's next generation of players.

"The opportunity to bring a club legend who is still so current into work with our young players was too good an opportunity to miss.
