COVENTRY City captain Ben Sheaf has left the club to join Championship rivals Wrexham in a deadline day deal.

Sheaf departs the Sky Blues for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £6.5million.

The midfielder became Coventry captain ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.

He departs the Sky Blues having made 144 appearances, scoring nine goals.

The midfielder initially joined Coventry on loan from Arsenal for the 2020/21 season with the move made permanent the following campaign.

During his time with the Sky Blues, he helped the club reach the Championship play-off final and FA Cup semi-final.




He also captained City in their play-off semi-final defeat against Sunderland last season.

Sheaf’s only appearance of the current season came as a substitute on the opening day of the campaign.


However, the midfielder suffered an injury and had to be replaced just seven minutes after entering the fray.
