COVENTRY City have rewarded promotion hero Bobby Thomas with a new contract ahead of the club’s return to the Premier League next season.

Thomas scored the goal which clinched Coventry’s top-flight return in a 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers.

The 25-year-old has scored 10 goals in 129 appearances for the Sky Blues since joining the club from Burnley in the summer of 2023 on an initial four-year deal.

Coventry have not revealed the length or terms of Thomas’s new deal with his previous contract due to expire in 2027.

Thomas said: “I’m delighted to sign a new contract.

“I’ve really enjoyed my time here and it has been amazing to be a part of such a historic achievement in helping the club get back to the Premier League.




“Those memories will live with me, my friends and my family forever and I’m excited for what’s ahead.

“The manager and all the staff have played a huge part in the club’s development, success and mine on a personal level.


“This is a fantastic club with an incredible fanbase whose connection with me and the players has been immense since the day I walked through the door.

“I hope we can make more memories together as we continue our journey.”

Thomas scored three goals and provided four assists in 33 appearances for the Sky Blues as Coventry lifted the Championship title this season.

He joins midfielder Victor Torp in signing a new deal with the club since the end of the 2025/26 campaign.
