City Helping To Find Christie A Club

Last updated : 07 July 2014 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City are helping to find Cyrus Christie a club.

The defender is out of contract but with the Sky Blues being entitled to compensation, City are helping him to find alternative employment.

There have been various bits of interest from different clubs, both League One and Championship, but as yet the agent hasn’t actually got a deal in place,” said Steve Waggott to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner.

“So we retain compensation rights but for the sake of the player, I am quite willing to do some sort of creative deal in terms of player exchange and high sell-on clause to try to ensure the lad gets a club.

“There have been discussions about Cyrus going to the MLS but, just in my opinion, I think he needs to stay in the UK for the sake of his career.

“I am working closely with the agent to try to get him sorted as soon as possible because as we can see clubs are coming back for pre-season in their droves.

“The World Cup will be over this week and then everything will move up a gear and it’s important we get him settled.”
