Oliver James Norwood (born 12 April 1991) is a professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for EFL League One club Stockport County.
Norwood began his career with Manchester United, and had loan spells at Carlisle United, Scunthorpe United and Coventry City before moving permanently to Huddersfield Town and then Reading. He then achieved three consecutive promotions to the Premier League with three clubs: Brighton, Fulham and Sheffield United between 2017 and 2019, and again with the latter in 2023.
