He was named club player of the year in the 2021-22 season before notching up 11 goals, including one in the play-off semi-final and one in the final, during the 2022-23 campaign where he was also once again named club player of the year.

"To go to the Premier League with Coventry was something I always dreamt of so when the club came back in for me, it was very special so I’m very happy.

"The love I got from the fans was amazing so the only thing I can give back to them is goals, assists and a good performance so that’s what I will try to do.

"Of course, you can’t score or give an assist every game but what I can do is give 100 per cent for the badge, for the club and for the fans.”
