Coventry City young keeper Neil Collett has been talking about signing a one year deal with the Sky Blues.

Collett has come through the club's ranks and was first choice Academy keeper making some cracking saves for Greg Rioch's U18's team.

"I'm delighted to be offered a deal especaiily as I am a Coventry kid said Collett to the club website. "The U18's didnt have the best of seasons last year but I suppose in a way that brings out the best in you as a keeper.

"I'm really excited and can't wait to get going. Hopefully, I will have some reserve experience next season and be involved and around the first team.

"I've worked with Oggy ever since I was at the club - I can't get away from him. He is my hero and I'm looking forward to working with him and the other keepers.

"We've signed Kieran Westwood who is a quality keeper and we've made some other good signings so I can't wait to get started.

Michael Quirke will fill Collett's place if City decide to continue with their Academy in the coming season. An announcement is expected shortly.
