Matthew Thomas Jarvis (born 22 May 1986) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for Championship club Norwich City.
After an unsuccessful spell as a youth team player for Millwall, Jarvis began his professional career with Gillingham, making his Football League debut for the Kent-based club at the age of 17. He made more than 100 appearances for Gillingham and became a target for a number of larger clubs, eventually signing for Wolverhampton Wanderers in June 2007. He became a first-team regular for the club, helping them win promotion to the top flight in 2009. In August 2012, he joined West Ham United for an undisclosed club record fee. In September 2015, he joined Norwich City on a loan deal until the end of the season, and made that move permanent in January 2016.
He received his first call-up to the England squad in 2011 and made his debut as a substitute against Ghana in a friendly at Wembley Stadium.
Jarvis was born in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire. His parents, Nick and Linda, both played table tennis professionally and each reached number one in the sport's British rankings. Later they set up the table tennis supplies company Jarvis Sports, which relocated from Guisborough to Guildford in the same year that Jarvis was born.
