Manufactured at Tottenham's academy, Pritchard only tallied two Premier League appearances for Spurs. The 23-year-old spent the second half of the 2012-13 season on loan at Peterborough United, the 2013-14 season on loan at Swindon Town, and the 2014-15 season at Brentford.
It was at Brentford where Pritchard started to live up to the hype, as he scored 12 goals to help the Bees qualify for the Championship's play-offs.
"I'm ready to come here, fight for my place, and hopefully play well," Pritchard said. "I feel I need to go out and prove myself again in football. I'm 23 now so it's about time I had my own path really. I've had a full pre-season and with our first game at the weekend I'm looking forward to hopefully bedding myself in quickly."
Back in the Championship after suffering relegation from the Premier League, Norwich will kick off its return to the second division of English football on Saturday at Blackburn Rovers.
