Former Derby, Sheffield Wed ace Tudgay remains with Coventry

Marcus Tudgay has signed a new contract with League One club Coventry City.


The 32-year old striker has put pen to a new one-year deal with the Sky Blues after initially joining from Nottingham Forest last summer.

Coventry boss Ton Mowbray was delighted to see the former Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday star commit himself for the 2015/16 season after netting four goals in 23 outings last term.

"I'm delighted to see Marcus Tudgay stay at the club for another season," Mowbray told the club's official website.

"Marcus was a player I highlighted at the back end of last season as someone who gives us some much-needed experience but also an intelligence and an awareness on the ball.

"He is a player who has a presence in the dressing room and I've really enjoyed working with him since my arrival at the club in February.

"I'm hoping after a good pre-season, Marcus can claim a starting spot with his performances and help us challenge at the top end of the League One table."
