Ryan Jarvis, (born July 11, 1986 in Fakenham, England), is an English professional footballer who currently plays for Norwich City, although currently on loan at Leyton Orient. Currently an Under-20 international, Jarvis has represented England at all junior levels.
A striker, Jarvis became Norwich City's youngest ever first team player with a substitute appearance in a 0-0 draw at Walsall on April 19, 2003 in the English First Division, aged just 16 years and 282 days. He also became the club's youngest goalscorer the following season with a late strike in a 2-1 home defeat by Watford on November 15, 2003. Jarvis ended the 2003-04 season with a Division One championship medal as Norwich won promotion to the premiership.
Jarvis scored his first Premiership goal against Liverpool during a 2-1 defeat on January 3, 2005 with a spectacular 20-yard effort. He spent the latter part of that season on loan at Colchester United from March-May 2005. He played 2 games for them without scoring.
His 2005/06 season was wrecked by injuries limiting him to a solitary goal against Luton Town, however in April 2006 he signed a new contract with Norwich City that will see him stay at the club until June 2008. His younger brother, Rossi Jarvis, is also on the books of Norwich City, having signed his first professional contract for the club during the 2005/06 campaign. The two brothers played together in the same Norwich team for the first time on 19 September 2006 in an English League Cup match against Rotherham United, in which Ryan scored twice.
On 15 February 2007, Jarvis signed for Leyton Orient on a months loan after the club were left with only one fit Striker; James Walker, himself a loanee from Charlton. This was due to a combination of injury to Orient's frontline and manager Martin Ling allowing players to leave without signing replacements. He scored a hat trick in the game against Millwall on Tuesday February 20th 2007 and then two more against Tranmere four days later.
