Medic made 18 appearances for Norwich City last season
Norwich City defender Jakov Medic has joined Eredivisie side FC Utrecht on a season-long loan deal.
Medic, 27, agreed a three-year contract with the Canaries when he moved to Carrow Road from another Dutch side, Ajax, last summer.
The centre-back made 18 appearances in all competitions for Norwich last season but has been allowed to leave by manager Philippe Clement and find first-team football elsewhere.
Utrecht, who finished sixth in the Netherlands' top tier last season, have the option to buy Medic next summer.

Norwich City boss Philippe Clement has stated the club will not sell striker Mohamed Toure regardless of the size of any offer that might come in.
The Australia international has been linked with multiple clubs this summer but Clement has been firm on his future at Carrow Road after the 22-year-old scored a double in an impressive 4-1 display against Burnley on Saturday.
"Maybe one player who is on the edge of things would go but they can only go if they are replaced, but not the names that have been in the papers the past couple of weeks," Clement told BBC Radio Norfolk.
"Mo Toure will not leave the club even when somebody comes with crazy money. Because then you would make things difficult, you cannot replace that."
Norwich City 4-1 Burnley - fans' verdictpublished at 12:51 BST 31 August

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Championship match between Norwich City and Burnley.
Here are some of your comments:
Norwich fans
Canary Kid: Much better. Oddly enough, perhaps it comes with following Norwich, I wasn't feeling comfortable, even at 3-0. Burnley, very impressive going forward. They won't be winless for long.
Mark: As much as I was happy with the 4-1 score line, if Burnley had scored (rather than hit the post) at the start of the second half and made it 3-2, it would've been interesting to see how Norwich would've reacted to that.
However, the fast start (two up in five minutes) shocked Burnley and they never really recovered despite getting into the odd good attacking position. Top eight definitely possible if we keep our squad healthy. OTBC.
Keith: That's better - hope Canaries will keep it up. Up The City!

Burnley fans
Andy: Shambles in defence and weak in midfield. Satpaev the only real positive in a team struggling for confidence. Edwards shouldn't be on the pitch until he gets his desire back - no commitment or energy. The manager needs to pick a side capable of competing and battling for the club. Too many players not giving 100%.
Anthony: I expected Norwich to brush us aside, but not in the first five minutes, after which the game was over as a contest.
No leadership in the club, both on and off the pitch and with many players who simply don't show any desire to stay or play, but just to see out lengthy, lucrative contracts. Achieving 50 points by the season end is no more than a dream.
Graeme: Utterly abysmal. 60% of the possession and unable to do anything with it. Already in the relegation zone and absolutely no confidence that these players are capable of getting out of it.
What do they do in training? The "forwards" obviously don't practice hitting the target. Desperately need several experienced strikers and preferably some decent defenders as well. Otherwise, it's hopeless.

Tranmere Rovers have signed forward Dylan Jones on a season-long loan from Norwich City.
Jones, 21, is returning to Prenton Park having spent the second half of last season on loan with Tranmere.
He played four times and scored his first professional goal before injury curtailed his move.
"I loved my time here last season, but it ended too soon, and I feel like I've got some unfinished business at Tranmere," he told the club's website, external.
Pick of the stats: Norwich City v Burnleypublished at 15:38 BST 27 August

These two sides are yet to register a league win between them in their combined opening four games of the season.
Burnley's point against West Ham on the opening weekend is all these two highly-fancied teams have to show for their efforts so far.
Norwich City have won just one of their past 12 league games against Burnley (D3 L8), their only win coming via a 2-0 home success in April 2022.
Burnley have won each of their past four league games against Norwich City across the 2022-23 and 2024-25 seasons and will be hoping for five successive victories in this fixture for the first time.
After losing their opening two league games this season, Norwich will be hoping to avoid losing their opening three league fixtures of a second-tier campaign for the first time since 1997-98.
Since 1 November 2025, Burnley have won fewer games than any other ever-present team across England's top four tiers, recording just a single win from their 31 matches (D10 L20).
Burnley have failed to win any of their 10 league games without Zian Flemming appearing since the start of last season (D3 L7), losing five of six away matches in that period.
'We are one family' says Canaries boss Clementpublished at 10:22 BST 26 August

Clement 'We're one family.'
Norwich City boss Philippe Clement has likened his squad to "one family" after they held off Cardiff City 2-1 to progress to the third round of the Carabao Cup.
Croatian striker Ante Crnac scored what turned out to be the winner after coming on as a second-half substitute, guiding a low cross from Jack Stacey into the net.
It was his first goal since recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury which had kept him out of action for 10 months and was met by huge celebrations from the travelling Canaries supporters and all those on the visitors' bench.
"Really special for him. I congratulated him not only for the goal but for 10 months of really hard work and staying positive and fighting back," Clement told BBC Radio Norfolk.
"It's really nice that in his first minutes, he can get the reward to score a very important goal for the club, and to [help] us qualify.
"It will give him a lot of confidence for the future because he's been fighting with his body for 10 months. So, to get this reward, and see that your body is fine, it's a really important thing for him."
Norwich winger Ali Ahmed has also suffered a ruptured ACL in his right knee and is expected to miss most, if not all, of the 2026-27 season.
"We are one family so everybody lives with each other in the good, and the bad, moments," Clement continued.
"Everybody is also living with Ali [Ahmed] for the moment. The dressing room is really close and that's really important for the months to come."
Millwall 3-0 Norwich - the fans' verdictpublished at 11:57 BST 24 August
11:57 BST 24 August
We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's match between Millwall and Norwich City.
Here are some of your comments:
Millwall fans
Siddienam: Great start to the season. Squad bonding well, defence looking solid and attacking threats from different places. Loving so far, hopefully we can keep going like this. And keep Femi!
Rob: A real team performance holding the ball, carrying the ball. More direct than we have been at times. Norwich were out-thought in this one. Can we go again? Why not? COYL.
Bez: Totally outplayed Norwich today. Jensen Metcalfe ruled the midfield, Coburn was strong up front. In fact, the whole team were a force.
Philip: The tide is turning. Millwall could never beat Norwich for years. A five-goal difference after two games is amazing. It took most of last season to achieve that.
Terry: Well-deserved win against poor opposition. Millwall team energised, up for the game and in Norwich's faces from the word go. Great team performance, with five first-teamers out injured.

Norwich fans
Jamie: We were truly awful, that was the worst defensive display I've seen in a while, and we have the worst keeper in the league.
Peter: Dismal performance, a lot of players have hangovers. McLean, second week in a row, lacking pace and woeful with his passes. His partner Field was a perfect one out of 10 performance. The rest of the team - three out of 10 would be the best l could give them.
Mike: Norwich were second-best in every department. Good luck to Millwall, as they were quicker, sharper, more cohesive and skilful and worked well as a team. I was hopeful for promotion for Mr Clement's side (rather than expectant) but am busy resetting my sights...
Canary Kid: Flat. Just flat. How virtually the same team can put in two completely different performances in a week is baffling. Millwall were very good, and we could not match them in any area. A wake-up call for some who may have thought they could just turn up and turn it on.
Alan: Not surprised. All the hype for the new season. I think they will struggle again. They have no attacking goal scorers and clearly have problems in defence, the same as last year. They will lose against Burnley.
