Harry Amass has officially completed his long-anticipated loan move to Norwich City, bringing an end to his brief but impactful spell at Sheffield Wednesday. While the 18-year-old now turns his attention to the next chapter of his development, he made sure not to leave Hillsborough without first addressing the supporters who stood firmly behind him throughout his time at the club.
Amass’ loan deal at Sheffield Wednesday came to an end earlier this month, with many Wednesday fans hoping strongly that the Manchester United youngster would return and see out the remainder of the season. His performances, maturity, and attitude quickly earned him admiration within the fanbase, making the possibility of an extended stay a popular expectation.
However, those hopes were ultimately dashed. According to reports, Manchester United made the final call, insisting that Amass needed to join a more stable and competitive environment that would better support his long-term development and provide consistent opportunities at a high level. Norwich City emerged as the preferred destination, and the move has now been sealed.
Despite the abrupt nature of his exit, Amass took time to send a heartfelt farewell message to Sheffield Wednesday supporters, underlining just how much the club and its fans meant to him during his formative months in senior football.
In his emotional message, Amass wrote:
> “I want to first of all appreciate the entire club for giving me the opportunity and believing in me when I was unproven.
To the fans, I want to thank you for your support. I am sorry it ended like this and that I did not have the chance to say a proper goodbye, but I know someday I will be able to see you all again.
Thank you all and I wish you the very best for the rest of the season.”
The message has since been warmly received by Wednesday supporters, many of whom praised the young defender for his humility, gratitude, and professionalism.
Although his stay was relatively short, Harry Amass leaves Sheffield Wednesday with his reputation enhanced. Fans have expressed disappointment at the circumstances surrounding his departure but have also voiced understanding, recognising that the decision was driven by Manchester United’s desire to accelerate his development.
For Amass, Hillsborough represented more than just a loan spell. It was a platform where he earned trust, gained experience, and connected with supporters who embraced him as one of their own.
As Amass begins life at Norwich City, the focus will now shift to how he adapts to a new challenge and continues his progression. Yet, it is clear that his bond with Sheffield Wednesday has not been severed, only paused.
Many supporters remain hopeful that their paths will cross again in the future — a sentiment echoed clearly in the young defender’s farewell words.
For now, Harry Amass departs with respect, appreciation, and the heartfelt thanks of a fanbase that will remember him fondly.
