Norwich City defender Ruairi McConville says he has a lot to thank former boss Johannes Hoff Thorup for.
The Danish coach was sacked by the Canaries last week following a run of just one win from 10 Championship games.
Northern Ireland international cConville made just his second start of the season in Saturday's goalless draw at Middlesbrough having been signed by Thorup from Brighton & Hove Albion in February.
"It's my first experience of something like this happening but I'm forever grateful to Johannes because he brought me here, gave me the opportunities and taught me a lot in the short space of time I was with him," McConville told BBC Radio Norfolk.
