Coventry City striker Leon Best is highly delighted to be wearing the number nine shirt this season for the Sky Blues.

Speaking to the club website, the striker, who was wanted by his hometown club Nottingham Forest last season and during the summer, said: "I always wore the number nine when I played at school. Partly because as a striker you always want it but also because really successful strikers like Ronaldo also wore the number so it has a lot of history behind it.

"It gives you that extra bit of confidence so hopefully I can get a few more goals this season
