A Norwich City statement read: "Norwich City can confirm that Sam Byram, Kieran Dowell and Michael McGovern will leave the football club when their respective contracts expire this summer.
"Dowell will leave the club having made 75 appearances in all competitions, scoring 12 goals."
Sporting director Stuart Webber added: “I’d like to thank the boys for their contribution to the club over the time they have been with us.
“Michael has enjoyed two promotions and has been an outstanding professional throughout his time with us. Kieran and Sam both enjoyed being in the squad for the record-breaking points tally we have achieved in the Championship in 2021, with Kieran scoring some valuable goals during the run in.
“We wish all of the players well. They know that they are all, along with their families, welcome back at Carrow Road or the Lotus Training Centre any time.”
