Left-back expected to sign with Sky Blues on his return from honeymoon later this month
Coventry City have begun contract negotiations with Chris Stokes but the left-back is not expected to sign a new deal with the Sky Blues until later this month.
From the outside it appears to be a formality that the 24-year-old will sign, given that he’s come from non-League Forest Green, but while manager Tony Mowbray is reasonably confident negotiations will be straightforward and that the player will commit himself, he admitted: “That’s not always the case because advisors get involved and have their own ideas about what value their players might be.
“I think his advisors will be getting on with the contract side of things. Steve Waggott has done the initial negotiations and sometimes it’s easier for that to continue with the agent.
"He’s had contact with him in the past and done the deal and I’m happy and hopefully it won’t take too long for that to get to a head.
“But obviously for him to sign we have top wait for him to get back from his honeymoon. There’s no rush and we’ll see how that progresses.”
Keep SW nose out TM.
Thank God Venus can now pick up the recruitment aspect.
