Former Norwich City striker Jamar Loza has joined Leiston on a two-year deal. 

The 29-year-old joins the Suffolk side after leaving Barnet to link up with Canaries legend Darren Eadie at Victory Road. 

Loza has played in all four of England’s top leagues, from the Premier League to League Two, while winning four caps for Jamaica. He made his Premier League debut for Norwich City against Arsenal in 2014. 

“I spoke to Chris (Wigger), Darren (Eadie) and the chairman and they told me about the project they have going on and clearly the club is moving in the right direction,” he said, after signing at the weekend. 

“They’re building a 3G pitch, they got so close last season to getting promoted and I know many of the squad through playing with them, or from the Norwich area. 

“This team can go places. There have been some good players leave, but the managers have added some quality, and I think we can go the next step for sure and get promoted." 

And Loza is looking forward to bringing his experience to the Leiston squad. 

“Yes, I’ve played in every league from the Premier League to League Two. I’m literally going through them all,” he laughed. “But it’s National League I’ve played mostly and I’m looking to help the younger members in this Leiston squad.” 

Eadie added: “We are delighted to have secured the services of Jamar. 

“He’s a player that has vast experience at pretty much every level and he brings knowledge, experience and leadership that can help our younger strikers develop around him, as well as provide a huge threat to defenders in our league. 

“He can ghost past defenders, provide goals, and assists. We are delighted to have him with us.” 

Loza scored once in six games for Norwich and had Football League loan spells with clubs including Southend, Coventry and Leyton Orient. 

After being released by Norwich in 2016 he established himself in the upper echelons of non-league with Maidstone United and Woking.
