Many Championship supporters predicted Coventry would be sent to League One before to the start of the season.
After 22 games, Coventry are seventh in the table, just one point ahead of sixth, demonstrating that they have definitely not displayed relegation form. Instead, they have started a play-off push. With two vital first-team players nearing the end of their contracts, January will be a crucial month for Coventry. In this article, we examine the six Coventry City players whose contracts are about to expire.
Kyle McFadzean, an accomplished defender, has been one of Coventry’s best players thus far this season. McFadzean, who is 34 years old, has been one of the team’s top players and doesn’t appear to be slowing down any time soon. Since McFadzean is an experienced defender who can still play at a high level, it is highly likely that the club will offer him a new contract. However, other teams may be keeping an eye on him.
Jamie Allen is a player that Coventry should prioritize having his contract renewed, much like McFadzean. After a difficult start to his Championship career the previous season, Allen has been a mainstay in Coventry’s midfield this year. Allen has appeared for the team approximately 60 times since arriving in 2019 and has three goals to his credit.
Josh Pask has only made 23 appearances for Coventry in the previous two and a half years, and he is yet to make an appearance for the team in the Championship this season. Despite signing Pask from West Ham in 2019 as a young player, Coventry has not seen him reach his full potential. Pask, who is 24 years old and finding it difficult to get into games, may be one of the players Coventry decides to let go in the summer or January.
It has been extremely tough for Coventry player Jordan Shipley to transition from League One to the Championship. At the young age of 24, Shipley, a product of the Coventry City academy, has made over 150 appearances for the team. Given that Shipley is a gifted player going through a difficult period in his career, it seems quite improbable that he won’t receive an offer for a new contract. Shipley’s next step might be a loan move away from City and a new deal.
Jodi Jones has had a rather erratic career in Coventry thus far. Despite his history of injuries, Jones typically performs admirably when given the opportunity to play. This season, Jones has made five appearances for Coventry and has contributed one assist. Despite Jones’ youth and talent, Coventry might be turned off by his injury history, which could prevent him from receiving a new contract offer from the team.
