City Linked To Hitchin Town Defender

Last updated : 19 July 2016 By CNS Staff

According to the Shropshire Star, Coventry City are linked to Kane Smith, a 19 year defender with Hitchin Town.

Smith is currently on trial at Shrewsbury Town and his manager Mark Burke told the Shropshire Star: “We’ve had an enquiry from Coventry and they wanted to do a similar thing, to get him in for pre-season, so there’s other interest.

“There are also teams in non-league who want to take him, but he wants to be a professional footballer.

“I think he’ll go into the Football League at some point – hopefully with Shrewsbury. But if not it will work out for him somewhere else because he’s that good.”
