Derby County midfielder Bradley Johnson says he would jump at the chance to play for former club Norwich City again before he hangs up his boots.
Bradley Johnson was a big help in helping Norwich get promotion to the Premier League in 2014-2015 season .. he also made 155 appearances for Norwich and scored 22 goals for them .
He scored 15 goals in the 2014-2015 season what helped him win Canaries' player of the year. After that he was then sold to Derby County for £6m in the 2015 summer transfer window but it was left late on deadline day
Bradly Johnson has made 72 appearances for Derby county and he has only scored eight goals.
Bradly Johnson has another two years left to run on his current contract with the Rams what will keep him at Derby County until 2019.
But the Derby county midfielder admits he would be open to a return to Carrow Road if the opportunity arose.
"I'd say it's the best time of my career and I'll never forget that, especially the promotion year," he told the Norwich Evening News.
"I always wanted to play in the Premier League and I fulfilled that dream at Norwich. I said I wanted to get them back there (after relegation in 2013-14) and I stuck by my word, when other players left and I could've left.
"It's a great club. I enjoyed it there, I started my family there, my little boy still always wears his Norwich kits and stuff like that.
"Delia Smith (the club's joint majority shareholder) made it very family-orientated for us and the wives. It's not just about the lads who are playing each week, because we go home to our wives and they've got to be happy as well. Delia made sure they were happy and took them on outings all the time, and I'm sure they're still doing that now.
"It was disappointing how I left and it coming out of the blue. I'd never begrudge anyone running football like a business and I didn't have any hard feelings about leaving – I was just disappointed because my main aim was to get Norwich promoted and then stay in the Premier League, and I wanted to be a part of that.
Irony he was the one who scored the winning goal against his former club In a 1-0 victory against Norwich at Pride Park Stadium last season.
The Derby county midfielder had the following to say after scoring the winning goal against Norwich:
"Football is about opinions. I'm at Derby now and I've got two more years left here. Hopefully, I see them out and then you never know what can happen. If Norwich came in for me, I'd never turn them down, anyway."
