Coventry City have announced a new signing. Jordan Stewart has expressed his delight at the signing and hopes his experience at the club can help to achieve promotion from League One.
The 30-year-old has signed until the end of the season with City. He left Notts County in January.
"I am really happy to sign for City as being from the Midlands and playing against Coventry in youth sides, you always knew this was a massive club.
"Obviously, at the minute, the club isn't where it should be but I hope to be part of the team which can turn that around."
Coventry City's Development Director, Steve Waggot, has told ITV News Central there's still a "shed load of work to do" following the departure of Mark Robins.
Huddersfield Chairman: "Mark has the knowledge and skills"
Following the appointment of former Coventry City boss at Huddersfield Town, Chairman Dean Hoyle has said Mark has the knowledge and skills that the Board of Directors set out for the new role.
Mark has the knowledge, skills and attributes that the Board of Directors set out for our new manager and it is clear that he shares our vision, philosophy and values.
He has good knowledge of the division from his previous spell with Barnsley.
He has also shown an ability to develop young players. Indeed, his work with the FA on the Elite Player Performance Plan and his commitment to development was a big factor in his appointment.
'Frustration and disappointment' felt at Coventry City over Robins' departure
"To say we are disappointed is an understatement. We gave Mark a three-year contract which we saw as a long-term appointment.
“Added to this, Mark was able to bring in those members of staff that he requested, plus we gave a considerable financial commitment in terms of players brought in during the loan windows to ensure that we had a strong, competitive team on the pitch.
"Over the last few months, we have had several clubs interested in securing Mark's services and we have fought off multiple approaches. We made every effort to ensure he stayed with us.
“Once it became obvious that there was no way forward we had no choice but to eventually allow him to speak to Huddersfield."
The first leg of Coventry City's Johnstone's Paint Trophy area final with either Crewe Alexandra or Bradford City will take place at the Ricoh Arena on Tuesday February 5th, kicking off at 7.45pm.
