Norwich City

In January 2018, Power joined Norwich City on an 18-month contract following a trial period with the club.[5][6] Power agreed a two-year extension to his deal in January 2019, six months before it was due to expire, and also joined Eerste Divisie side Dordrecht on loan until the end of the season.[7][8] He made 10 appearances for Dordrecht and scored one goal.

In August 2020, he returned to Kings Lynn Town on a season-long loan.[14] His loan was cut short in January 2021 in order to join Harrogate Town on a permanent deal, having made 13 appearances and scored two goals for the Linnets in all competitions.[2][15]
