Chelsea fullback Dujon Sterling says he's toughened up at Coventry City this season.

Sterling has spent the campaign with the Sky Blues.

He told chelseafc.com: "It was a bit of a struggle at the start. It wasn't really bad but it was very different. There was a lot to adapt to in men's football and it was hard.

"After a couple of bad games I turned a corner, and the learning I was doing on the pitch and off the pitch with Adi Viveash and Mark Robins helped me to play well. They gave me confidence and I have had a lot of good games since.

"This loan has made me more of a man, on and off the pitch, mentally as well. There have been tough times and I've had to deal with it. Also it's been good just getting back to playing my football and showing off what I can do to all the fans, and getting the recognition I am in this league."
