At a time when Manchester United’s forward options included the likes of Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole, Teddy Sheringham, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, opportunities for Notman were limited. He made only a handful of appearances for the club before moving on in search of more first-team football.
Loan Spells and Move to Norwich City
During his time at Manchester United, Notman had a loan spell at Aberdeen and Sheffield United, where he gained valuable playing experience. His performances during these loan stints helped him secure a permanent move to Norwich City in 2000.

Notman’s time at Norwich City saw him play regularly and show glimpses of his attacking ability, becoming a key player for the club. However, his career was severely impacted by injuries, which limited his playing time. Despite his potential, recurring injuries forced him to retire prematurely at the age of 24 in 2003.
International Career
Notman represented Scotland at the youth level but never broke into the senior national team due to his injury problems and limited opportunities at the top level.
Legacy

While his time in football was cut short, he is fondly remembered by fans at Norwich City for his contributions during his brief spell at the club.
