The Canaries' current star player has helped raise thousands by donating some signed footy gear.

Borja Sainz, fresh off winning the Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month for September, gave away a signed shirt and game-worn signed boots.

The sought-after items were to help raise money for a raffle in aid of the Big C charity, set up by the hosts of Talk Norwich City - Chris and Jack Reeve.

Co-host Chris, who's been part of the podcast for the last eight years, said: "Sainz really is the star of the show right now.

"We've been fundraising for the Big C for years and each season we try and come up with different ways to do it.

"Sainz saw what we do and asked if he could do something to help.

"After having a chat he donated a match-prepared signed shirt and worn signed boots, even with the dirt still on.

"We charged £2 a ticket and had hundreds take part. In the end we raised £1,430.00 which would have been impossible without Sainz's kindness."

The Big C charity has been close to Chris' heart since he was a child, after his mum died from Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2007.

The following week Sainz scored his first senior career hat-trick, guiding City to a 3-2 victory away at Derby County.

Sainz joined City during the 2023/24 summer transfer window, making the switch from Turkish side Giresunspor.

Born in Leioa, Sainz began his career at local side Lagun Artea, before moving to Athletic Bilbao where he spent five years before joining Deportivo Alavés.
