FOOTBALL - Luke Woolfenden wants to continue 'great start' after completing Coventry City move

LUKE Woolfenden wants to help Coventry City continue their ‘great start’ to the season after joining the club on transfer deadline day.

The centre-back has signed a three-year deal with the Sky Blues and completed the club’s business for the summer window.

The 26-year-old won back-to-back promotions with former club Ipswich Town – helping the Tractor Boys rise from League One to the Premier League.

And with Coventry fifth in the Championship table, Woolfenden hopes the club can continue their strong start to the campaign after the international break.

Woolfenden said: “I’m excited to be here. It’s been in the pipelines for a few weeks now.

“I’m really excited to get going and getting out on the pitch.




“The team have had a great start to the season.

“I just want to help as much as I can and hopefully the great start continues.”


Woolfenden made 15 appearances for Ipswich in the Premier League last season.

And Sky Blues head coach Frank Lampard believes the defender’s arrival will add further strength in depth at the back.

Lampard added: “I’m delighted to welcome Luke to Coventry City.

“Luke is a quality player who has experienced promotion from the Championship and playing in the Premier League last season.

“He will be a great addition for us, and he will improve the strength of our squad and I look forward to working with him.”
