Player to Watch: Josh Sargent

The talented center-forward from the United States has been playing on a high level throughout the Championship season becoming the second-best scorer for Norwich behind Jonathan Rowe. Sargent's stats are even more impressive considering that he has played in only 16 games while starting barely a third of those matches.

The 24-year-old has scored 11 league goals to help Norwich fight for promotion playoffs. He has been capped by the USA national team 23 times and scored five goals in the process.
