He was under contract with the Canaries until 2025 but his debut in Yellow and Green was complicated: in 17 matches, the 31-year-old striker failed to open his counter in the league and scored only two goals from penalties in the Coupe de France.
Born and trained in Sète, Delort had a chaotic career, with very prolific stints in certain clubs but a strong temperament which often pushed him to the start. Since his professional debut in Nîmes in 2009, he has already passed through eleven different clubs.
