Sean Raggett made his Norwich City debut in the Canaries’ victory at Bristol City.
The central defender, who joined up with Daniel Farke’s side earlier this month following the culmination of his loan at Lincoln City , was a 95th minute substitute for Nelson Oliveira in the 1-0 success at Ashton Gate.
Raggett’s appearance for the Norfolk club could be good news for the Imps. Farke is assessing Raggett before deciding whether to keep him at Carrow Road or send him back out on loan.

Under FIFA rules, players can only play for two clubs in a single season, so if Raggett is sent out on loan again this season it can now only be to the Imps.
Raggett’s appearance has scuppered any hopes Bradford City had of signing the player. The League One Bantams had been linked with a loan swoop for Raggett.
Speaking after the Imps’ 2-2 draw with Notts County , Cowley said he was proud of the former Dover Athletic defender.
“It’s good news for him and I’m really proud of him,” said Cowley.

“He’s a boy we took from Dover, where he was a part-time player, and he’s worked so hard at his game. He’s now made his Championship debut.”

When asked if Raggett’s appearance for Norwich has raised his hopes of bringing the player back to Sincil Bank, Cowley said: “I don’t think Sean will be thinking of coming back here after making his Championship debut. We’ll just wait and see.”
Regular midfielder Michael Bostwick has replaced Raggett in the heart of the Imps’ defence for the last two games, while centre-back James Wilson was an unused substitute against Notts following his arrival after leaving Sheffield United by mutual consent.
