Norwich City centre half Ben Godfrey is grateful to Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand for his career advice.

Godfrey has been quick to turn to Ferdinand whenever he needs some help or tips on defending.

“In terms of being a centre back, there's not been a better person to speak to for advice in however many years," Godfrey, who is represented by Ferdinand's New Era Global Sports company, told the Mirror.

“Anything he says, goes really. He's class and he helps me so much. He's got a lot of time for me. He's a top guy and it's good to speak to him.

“I will get my clips together after a game, send them to Rio and he'll come back and say: 'to be honest, I'd have done this or this…' or tell me what I've done well.

"I'm always trying to learn and improve and there's no-one better to give me advice."
